MASTERPROOFING® Round Banneton Basket (500g Dough)- 22 * 8.5cm

I have had various flirtations with bread making on and off but generally give up due to proving problems. Proving in containers (floured, oiled, cloth lined, whatever) - more dough left in than turns out. Prove on a baking sheet and it collapses; prove in tin and it doesn't come out.Latest bread attempt has been Ken Forkish book - lovely bread but very wet dough which sticks to everything.So decided to give this a try - why not have something else thrown in the back of a kitchen cupboard covered in dried on dough!! Very sceptical despite the rave reviews but wow - it works!!!Needs a good dusting of flour, especially first couple of uses. I don't clean at all between uses - just let the flour bed in.It is so reliable that I no longer turn the dough out onto floured surface and lift into the baking pot as per instructions (it'll only stick to the floured surface!!) - I just tip it straight in and it works every time.As for capacity - a 500g of flour mix seems a perfect fit; I've just done a 750g flour bake today which rose really well- it got slight muffin top in this basket but still tipped out perfectly and baked a great shape.

I purchased a round banetton and an oval one at the same time. I had previously bought several low quality cheaper proving baskets which sort of worked but were messy in use. These are nicely rigid and easily floured and cleaned afterwards. They impart a lovely shape/outline to your proving dough and whilst not exactly cheap represent a quality product which I wholeheartedly recommend.

Give me the right shape and fits inside my baking pot perfectly (used as Dutch oven). I use semolina and rice flour mix with a sieve and cover the inside before placing my dough inside. I never have any problems getting the loaf out. My only negative point is that one of them has started to fray a bit but I have made many many loaves so I may simply have to replace it

these can be bought - if you search for a while - in kitchen shops (John Lewis don't seem to sell them) at a higher price, so not only is this a good product, it is a good price. It even comes with a cloth cover. I'd never used one of these and it really solves my collapsing dough problem. its transformed by bread baking. appears to be a well made item that should lost for a long time

Unfortunately I took a gamble with this after reading the other reviews about quality. The cane is not only split, but fraying in areas - meaning the chance of splinters in the dough is there...Disappointing as I wasn’t able to find any other 8 inch proofing basket that was dispatched from the U.K.I’d recommend looking at the other sellers.. other ones I’ve had from different sellers have been great quality. It’s just a shame they don’t make any 8 inch sizes and I had to end up buying this one.

A really excellent proofing basket that gives homemade bread a really artisan look to them.I've used this for both runny and dry doughs and as long as you sufficiently flour the Banneton first you won't have any problems getting it out again.I also haven't worried too much about cleaning it rigorously, after use I just knock out the old flour and place in in a dry cupboard.

Very low quality product. The cane is splintered all the way around and you can tell it’s not been constructed in a thoughtful manner. Please buy a higher quality product

This peice arrived today and it has gone straight into use! It has done a welcome good job in shaping and although i do need to get used to using it I will be using it all the time along with my Weston Mill pizza baker..The banneton is well made and reminds me of my natural origins and also goes well with all my cooking stuff..
