Oval Rattan Banneton Basket
Holds your shaped sourdough to an oval while it proves, and brushes out dry with no cloth to wash.
€17.99
Shaped dough slumps if it rises flat on a tray. This oval rattan basket holds it to a loaf shape through the final prove, then leaves rings of flour on the crust when you tip it out.

Stainless Steel Bench Scraper
Scraper to cut and lift, basket for the prove. €13.99
- Hand woven rattan coils
- 25 × 15 × 7.5 cm oval
- Prints floured rings on the crust
- Basket only, no liner
The final prove
Proved in rattan, then brushed out dry
A tea towel in a bowl will hold dough too, but it sets a round shape and adds a cloth to the laundry.
Bowl and tea towel
- The bowl decides the shape, so the loaf comes out round
- A smooth crust with no rings of flour
- Air reaches the dough only through the cloth
- The towel goes in the wash after every bake
With the banneton
- An oval loaf, 25 cm from end to end
- Floured coils press their pattern into the crust
- The open weave lets air reach the dough
- Tap it out and brush it once dry
How to use it
From shaped dough to oven
- 01
Flour the basket
Dust the inside with rice flour, or rice and wheat flour mixed, and rub it into the grooves between the coils.
- 02
Prove the dough
Shape an oval loaf, lay it in seam side up, cover it and leave it to rise on the worktop or overnight in the fridge.
- 03
Turn it out
Tip the loaf onto baking paper, score the top and bake. Brush the basket out once it has dried.
Close up
What the rattan does
Ribbed floor
Straight canes run across the base, so the underside of the loaf picks up lines as well as the sides.
Coiled walls
Each ring of cane holds a line of flour. When the risen dough comes out, that pattern is pressed into the crust.
Wide rim
The top coil is the widest point, 25 by 15 cm, so a risen loaf drops out cleanly when you turn the basket over.
Compared
Banneton or a bowl and tea towel?
A floured cloth in a mixing bowl works for a round loaf. The basket gives an oval shape, a ringed crust and air around the dough, which helps the outside dry a little before it meets the oven.
| Compared | This productRattan banneton | Bowl and tea towel | Silicone mould |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loaf shape | Oval, 25 cm long | Round, set by the bowl | Set by the mould |
| Rings on the crust | Yes | No | Only if ridged |
| Air reaches the dough | Yes | Through the cloth | No |

After the bake
None of it happens at the sink
Water and the dishwasher are off limits for rattan, so cleaning is all done dry.
- 01
Leave it to dry
Let the basket and its flour dry out completely on the side after baking.
- 02
Tap it out
Turn it upside down over the bin and knock out the loose flour.
- 03
Brush the coils
A dry brush clears what is left between the canes.

Questions
No, it is the bare rattan basket, and the bare coils are what print the rings on the crust. For a smooth top instead, line it with a well floured linen cloth or a clean tea towel.
The supplier gives the size, 25 × 15 × 7.5 cm, rather than a dough weight. Shaped dough should come about two thirds of the way up the sides, which leaves it room to rise without spilling over the rim.
Use rice flour, which soaks up less water than wheat flour, and rub it well into the grooves. A new basket needs a heavier dusting for the first few bakes, until a layer of flour has built up in the coils.
Let it dry completely first. Flour and dough flake off far more readily once dry, so tap the basket out, brush along the coils and pick off any crust with a fingernail. Avoid soaking it.
No. It is only for the rise. Turn the dough out onto baking paper, a preheated stone or into a hot lidded pot, and bake it there while the basket dries on the side.
Yes. Cover the basket and leave the shaped loaf in the fridge overnight, then turn it onto baking paper, score it and bake.
