by Your Friends at Superbaking January 27, 2022

Fill your home with the sweet aroma of freshly-baked, perfectly-round loaves of bread and enjoy rustic, homemade baked goodies, perfect to pair with your spread of choice, right in the comforts of your home.

For perfectly-round bread, toasted on the outside and pillowy on the inside, you may want to get your hands on your own bread proofing basket.

What is a bread proofing basket?

Whether you're a professional baker or a home baker, a bread proofing basket makes the perfect baking buddy for your everyday baking needs.

Available in a variety of shapes: round, oval, or long, bread proofing baskets are also known as brotforms and bannetons. The bread proofing basket supports the dough as it proofs while keeping the bread from spreading the flattening as it rises.

I’m a home baker. Do I need a bread proofing basket?

While most home bakers prefer to use a regular baking pan, working with a bread proofing basket helps give your homemade bread that artisanal touch by keeping its shape as it rises. Line them with linen for a smooth texture on your bread or go for a rustic look by leaving your basket unlined, letting your dough take on your basket’s pattern.

Whether you’re a professional baker or a budding home baker, having a bread proofing basket will save you from misshapen bread that, literally, falls flat.
