Matfer Bourgeat Linen Lined Willow Banneton:

A banneton is a shallow bowl used to proof breads. It gives the bread its final form and often decorates the bread with coil or spiral, designs.
To use, the banneton is greased and lightly floured. The bread dough is then placed into the banneton for its final rising. After the rise, the dough is turned out onto a prepared baking sheet or stone and baked.

This willow basket allows proofing, country style and other specialty breads the old fashioned way.

Available in three sizes:

• Diameter 9 1/2”, 2 lb. bread
• Diameter 10 5/8”, 3 lb. bread
• Diameter 11 1/2”, 4 lb. bread
