Natural Materials that Make the Difference
The rattan basket's natural properties offer several benefits for your dough. The material is breathable and allows the right amount of air to circulate, while the cotton liner retains the necessary moisture. This creates the perfect environment for the yeast cells to work at their best. Rattan is also an odour-free material, meaning your dough will not absorb any unwanted aromas during proving.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare the proving basket before use?
Dust the cotton liner with a thin layer of flour before placing the dough inside. This prevents the dough from sticking and creates a beautiful pattern.
Can I use the proving basket for gluten-free dough?
Yes, the basket is suitable for all types of dough, but for gluten-free dough it is recommended to flour the liner extra thoroughly.
