For all you proper breadmakers out there! As you read about this banneton, try to imagine the music from the old Hovis advert (Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, if you're wondering)... A banneton, or proving basket, helps dough hold its shape during its final rise before baking. The natural cane absorbs a little surface moisture from the dough, encouraging the formation of a crisp crust while creating the attractive spiral pattern that's become the hallmark of artisan loaves. Made from 100% natural cane and secured with rust-resistant stainless steel pins, these baskets provide support for softer doughs and help produce consistently shaped loaves time after time. They're not just for proving either - they also make attractive baskets for serving bread and rolls at the table. Would you like a liner for your banneton? You can find the linen liners here. So there you go!
