DOYOLLA1pcs Oval Shaped 10" Banneton Brotform Bread Dough Proofing Rising Rattan Basket & Liner Combo

There are a lot of reviews that say, more or less, this item is smaller than expected. That was my initial impression and I almost returned it for that reason until I realized that return shipping would cost $6 for a $12 item to begin with. So I decided to try it, sized as it is, with an average modern bread dough recipe (2 loaves, 1,000 grams flour, overnight slow rise) to test whether it was properly sized in fact.I found that this size is correct for a good size loaf, half of the average two-loaf recipe, because it's only a rising basket, not the container the bread is baked in, nor the final size of the loaf. After rising, you dump it out onto parchment paper or a peel and the dough expands in all directions from gravity after the support of the wicker is gone, and more importantly it expands from "oven spring," the size increase that happens in the oven. After baking, if you have a larger loaf, your bread knife won't reach all the way across the loaf.Otherwise, the quality of the wicker is the same as the other, circular bannetons I have. I can't figure out what you're supposed to do with the cloth cover. I have several and never use them. The cloth quality, elastic and sewing seems about the same as all the others. It's a decent banneton, properly sized unless you like giant loaves. You need two for a 1,000 grams of flour bread recipe.

Works nicely when well floured, sized right for a mid size 1 1/4 pound loaf.500gm bread flour, 12gm salt, 1/3c fed sourdough starter, 325gm water. Autolyse for 4-16 hours then add the starter and salt. Preshape the dough after the bulk ferment, rest it a bit and then shape it a little to get some surface tension, then do the final rise in the brotform for a couple hours. Turn it over gently onto some parchment paper and slowly lift the basket; the linen peels off easily. If you do a retarded ferment (in the fridge overnight) the cold dough will just about fall out. A couple artistic slashes with your lame, and then into the oven. You get a pretty loaf every time, enough for 4-6 people to share with dinner.I've got two of these now, because I'm baking more than ever. I bake one for us, and one to give away.

This is much smaller than I expected. It is supposed to be a 10 inch banneton but the outside only measures 9 3/4 inches. The inside is 9 1/8 inches. I have two other bannetons that measure 10 inches on the inside and I thought that was what I was purchasing. I am very disappointed because it will not make the correct size of bread loaf. It not only is too short but it isn't as deep as I expected either. Very disappointing.

This set comes with almost everything you'd need for the last steps of preparing sourdough. The bread lame and the provided razor blades work well and the bench scraper is excellent - I use it for many other kitchen applications. The basket and cloth liner work well together but that wood basket splinters and has holes in it. WIthout the liner, i wouldn't want to try proofing bread in it lest the dough stick, get tiny wood splinters in it or seep through the basket. I've used this set to make many loaves already and will continue to do so.

I've been on a Sourdough kick so I figured I'd bite the bullet and pick up a pair of these ovals. Great decision. When I first open the box I was "OH NO! They're TOO small!" but they're the PERFECT size for individual loaves and I've so far had ZERO issue with the dough sticking to the material. (I use rice flour to dust).I would unreservedly suggest these to others.
