Rattan proving basket with cotton liner – perfect bread proving
Westmark's proving basket in natural rattan with an included cotton liner provides optimal conditions for proving home-baked bread. The oval basket measuring 27.5x14 cm is ideal for 750–1,000 g of dough and made from 100% natural, odourless rattan material that ensures good air circulation during proving.
Ideal for proving all types of bread dough, including classic white bread, rye bread and sourdough, where even and controlled proving is essential for the final result.
Natural materials that support the baking process
The rattan material in the basket offers several advantages for bread baking. The natural structure allows the right amount of air to circulate around the dough, preventing condensation and producing a dry crust. This is particularly important for sourdoughs, where a slightly dried-out surface contributes to the characteristic crisp result. At the same time, the cotton liner retains moisture inside the dough so that it does not dry out too much during proving.
Practical and durable in the kitchen
Beyond its functional baking benefits, the proving basket is also incredibly practical to use. The included cotton liner can be washed at 30°C, ensuring good hygiene when baking. The rattan basket is durable and retains its shape even after many uses. With a height of 71 mm, the basket provides ample room for the dough to rise and develop optimally. The oval shape is particularly well suited to oblong loaves and creates an attractive pattern on the surface of the dough.

Frequently asked questions
How do I prepare the proving basket before use?
Dust the cotton liner with a little flour before placing the dough inside so that it does not stick. The flour also helps to create the characteristic pattern on the bread.
Can I use the basket without the cotton liner?
It is recommended to use the included cotton liner, as it prevents the dough from sticking to the basket and makes cleaning easier.
