Banneton
/ˈbæn.ɪ.tɒn/
Definition
A basket used for proofing shaped bread dough, traditionally made from cane or rattan. The basket provides structure and support during the final rise and creates distinctive circular ridges on the loaf's surface.
Henry's Tips
- •Dust it heavily with rice flour, not regular flour. Rice flour doesn't absorb moisture, so your dough won't stick.
⚠️Common Mistakes
- •Not flouring the basket enough, causing the dough to stick.
