The Bannetons de boulangerie category is aimed at professional bakers, food industry trainers, sourdough bread artisans and traditional bread-making enthusiasts. Indispensable for proofing dough pieces before baking, bannetons ensure even sprouting, structure the shape of the bread and promote the development of a distinctive, aesthetically pleasing artisan crust. They are the reference tool for all productions aiming for visual and gustatory excellence.
The banneton is a proofing basket used to contain the dough during proofing. It regulates surface humidity, supports the shape of the dough and facilitates shaping. They come in a variety of shapes (round, oval, elongated), sizes (from 250 g to over 2 kg) and materials (natural rattan, poplar wood, micro-perforated food-grade plastic or pressed cellulose). Depending on use, they can be used with or without linen or cotton to avoid sticking and give the bread a visual signature.
