Sourdough Basket (Banneton / Brotform)

Crafted from natural Indonesian rattan and lined with a removable cotton cloth, this traditional sourdough proofing basket (also known as a banneton or brotform) supports even fermentation during the final rise.

The breathable rattan structure allows airflow around the dough, helping to:

• Maintain dough structure
• Support balanced fermentation at room temperature
• Create a beautifully rustic crust pattern

Simply dust the basket lightly with brown rice flour for best outcome (or flour if you don't have brown rice flour), place your shaped dough inside, and allow it to rise. After use, shake out excess flour and allow the basket to dry thoroughly for easy care and longevity.

Stainless Steel Dough Scraper

The included dough scraper is made from durable stainless steel with a comfortable wooden handle, making it an essential tool for sourdough baking.

Perfect for:

• Lifting and folding high-hydration dough
• Dividing dough cleanly
• Shaping loaves with precision
• Cleaning your bench with ease

Rinse with warm water after use for quick and simple cleanup.

Sourdough Bread Lame (Scoring Tool)

This sourdough lame features a sturdy wooden handle and includes both straight and curved blade options, giving you full control over how your loaf opens during baking.

Scoring your sourdough correctly:

• Encourages controlled oven spring
• Prevents random cracking
• Allows for creative and decorative patterns

Whether you prefer bold, classic slashes or intricate designs, this bread lame helps you achieve confident, consistent results. For best results, chill your dough before scoring, especially when creating detailed patterns.

• Ideal for home sourdough bakers
• High-quality, long-lasting materials
• Traditional tools used by artisan bakers
• Supports better fermentation, shaping, and scoring
• Beautifully designed and practical

This sourdough bundle also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone starting or deepening their sourdough bread-making practice.

What size is the sourdough basket?

The sourdough basket is 22cm in diameter, suitable for most standard sourdough loaves made with 500–1000g of dough.

Is this sourdough basket the same as a banneton or brotform?

Yes. This sourdough basket is also known as a banneton or brotform and is traditionally used to support dough during its final rise.

Is this set suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. This sourdough bread making set is ideal for beginners and experienced home bakers, providing the essential tools needed for shaping, proofing, and scoring sourdough.

Do I need to line the basket with the cloth?

The basket can be used with or without the cotton liner. The liner is helpful for wetter doughs or smoother loaf finishes. When lining the basket with the supplied cotton cloth, it is best to dust the cotton cover with brown rice flour.
