Professional grade banneton made in Germany from compressed wood fibre. Bannetons, also called proofing baskets or brotform are used in the baking process to help as the dough proof, for it's final rise and offers a support structure before you intend to bake. This is an all important piece of equipment for the serious baker and as used by Elaine Boddy of https://foodbodsourdough.com for her baby master recipes.

Our bannetons are made using compressed wood fibre or pulp from managed spruce in Germany and have a much smaller environmental footprint.
