I have used baskets with fabric lining and baskets similar to Bulka from Brod and Taylor and Bulka is by far my favorite! They absorb moisture which seems to help my bread as it does its cold ferment. I dry them after each use by putting it upside down toward the back of my oven where the warm air vents out and they dry beautifully. (I have placed them in the warm oven too but forgot to take one out once and it burned when I preheated the oven with it in there.). HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ## Features - Bulka Banneton holds 500g of dough: fancy a loaf of spicy sourdough? Can't wait to make this new Italian focaccia recipe or try your hand at the perfect rye? This sourdough proofing basket holds up to 500g of your favorite dough and ensures its shape stays strong during the final rise. Perfect for crafting pillow-soft sourdough bread without worrying about deflating the air - Thick walls keep the temperature constant: No one likes sad, uneven bread that screams "My baker didn't cook me properly!" Fortunately, even for the latest bread makers, our thick-walled, elongated bread basket offers continuous insulation, keeping temperatures constant while masterfully fermenting and proving beautiful artisan bread. - Create beautiful, even crusty crusts – do you crave the crackling of warm, crusty bread fresh from the oven? Create airy, gold-crusted breads with a Bulka sourdough basket that evenly absorbs moisture for drastically improved breathability and flavor. Once you've proven your loaves with a Bulka Banneton basket, you'll never want to go back! - Made from eco-friendly pulp: from tree to table, our bread bannetons use the power and beauty of nature without harming it. Sustainably sourced from local German forests, our spruce wood pulp bannetons are more environmentally friendly than rattan products made from rainforest palms. Plus, you'll love that our Bulka bread bowls are 100% biodegradable and chemical free - Easy to remove and clean: difficult to clean? Not on our watch! With a non-stick texture and larger surface area, wet dough is less likely to get stuck in grooves of Bulka Bread Banneton. You also don't have to spend extra time washing. Simply dry your bread oven in a warm, well-ventilated place (or in residual heat after baking) and brush off leftover flakes with a stiff brush ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09N8W2NMM | | ASIN | B09N8W2NMM | | Additional Features | Eco-friendly wood pulp material, non-stick texture, and larger surface area for easy cleaning | | Best Sellers Rank | #133,817 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #177 in Bread Proofing Baskets | | Brand Name | Bulka | | Closure Type | Open Top | | Color | Cream White | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (249) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (249) | | Date First Available | 5 July 2022 | | Finish Types | Non stick | | Handle Material | Wood | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 25.7D x 14.5W x 7.6H centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.76 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Bulka | | Manufacturer | Bulka | | Material Type | Wood | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 25.65 x 14.48 x 7.62 cm; 344.73 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | Storage | | Room Type | Kitchen | | Shape | Oval | | Style Name | Modern | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | With Lid | No | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bulka - **Colour:** Cream White - **Material:** Wood - **Product dimensions:** 25.7D x 14.5W x 7.6H centimeters - **Shape:** Oval ## Images ![Small Oval 500g Banneton Bread Proofing Basket Pressed Wood Pulp Brotform - Plane Non-Stick Batard Sourdough Banneton Basket, Made in Germany. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DX+tpnWcL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why does my dough stick to the banneton during proofing?** A: Dough sticks when the banneton isn’t floured enough. Dust it generously with flour (gluten-free flour works best) to ensure a clean release and a perfect shape. **Q: What's the proper way to maintain my banneton?** A: Maintenance is straightforward but critical. Remove excess flour after each use and ensure complete drying to prevent mold formation. Drying with oven residual heat at 220°F provides optimal results. Water should never be used for cleaning. **Q: Is my Bulka banneton made of cardboard?** A: Nope, it’s crafted from premium, food-safe wood pulp! Unlike cardboard, wood pulp is durable, breathable, and perfect for proofing dough. It helps regulate moisture for better results, giving your bread that perfect crust and shape every time. **Q: How should I handle mold growth on my banneton?** A: Mold thrives in moisture! Always dry your banneton completely after use, ideally using the oven's residual heat, and store it in a well-ventilated spot. If mold does form, it's best to dispose of the basket to keep your baking safe and hygienic. **Q: I live in humid climate, and/or my dough proofs in the fridge. Any tips for my banneton?** A: Moisture is the enemy! Always ensure your banneton is thoroughly dried after each use. The residual heat method is the best basket's friend. Then store it in a dry and well-ventilated area—this is crucial to prevent mold and keep it bake-ready! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***I on 14 February 2026* للناس اللي تخبز مفيد لهم ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 24 February 2026* This is my second banneton from Bulka.
