Banneton Bread Proofing Basket - Banneton Basket Set of 2 Pack 7 inch Round Sourdough Proofing Basket with Liner - Handmade Rattan Proofing Rising Bowl for Artisan Bread Making Baking Supplies

I was interested in baking a small sourdough boule to avoid having to put a portion in the freezer. These 7" bannetons were exactly what I needed. They are well constructed and fit in a small area of the fridge during cold fermentation. Highly recommend for anyone needing a smaller size.

Love these, perfect size for my bread proofing!

I love this smaller size!! In the rounds, they're typically for gifts to others, so this smaller size means I can afford to give away more. But I also fit way more dough then im typically told will fit. I have the 8" ovals as well, which i personally love the shape of more than round, just for ease of use. But I've regularly had anywhere from 700g to 900g and had great loaves, just obviously a good bit larger than it looks. But the smaller 350 or so is great too and leaves more room to grow of course. Sometimes they can be a bit rough here and there, but a lot of times I use the linen fabric insert as it's so easy to keep clean, so nothing else matters. But, every time I've used just the basket its turned out well too. I like to cold proof for 2 or 3 days, so these are indispensable at helping hold the shape as well as wicking away excess moisture. For example, when I make small bread bowls for soup, I use tea towels in ceramic cereal bowls. It works OK, but, the bowls hold in all liquid, so the towels get decently wet, making it a bit more difficult to work with. So, these aren't absolutely necessary, of course! But, they make for a much better product, in my opinion, for me.But even better, is this company and their customer service!!! I've rarely had such kindness helpful people responding to my random questions and babble :) Seriously amazing people and I can't thank them enough for all their help. It's why, when I was able to buy a couple, I knew it would be through them.Oh, and yes, they are small... so, before you buy them and then complain that they are small, be sure you look at review photos people have added, as well as look at a ruler, just so you can fully understand the size and are sure it's the size you want. Right now, for me, this 7" round is perfect for what I need. The measurements are there, so if worried, just get the next size up :)

As I work on getting better at my bulk fermentation. These smaller baskets are the perfect size. Really happy with the results.

These baskets are terrific. I make sourdough bread weekly. My normal recipe is for two loaves, so this set is ideal. Make certain you flour the insides before putting dough in. Using rice flour works best. And rinse out after bread has baked. Many folks advise against getting these wet to avoid molding. I've had no issues but I am careful to let them dry thoroughly before putting them away.

Pretty good little basket.

These are the perfect size for 2 500 gram loaves of sourdough bread . Originally , I bought the 9” , which was just a bit too large. These work great !

Perfect shape for half loaves
