Why does my dough stick to the banneton during proofing?

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.

What's the proper way to maintain my banneton?

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.

Is my Bulka banneton made of cardboard?

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.

How should I handle mold growth on my banneton?

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.

I live in humid climate, and/or my dough proofs in the fridge. Any tips for my banneton?

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!
