Westmark Proving Basket – Perfect Fermentation for Home-Baked Bread

This proving basket from Westmark is designed for optimal proving of all types of bread dough. Made from 100% natural rattan with an included cotton liner, the basket creates ideal conditions for the fermentation process. The oval shape measuring 34x20.5 cm provides ample space for 1,500–2,000 g of dough.

Ideal for home bakers who want to create rustic loaves with a beautiful crust and an airy crumb, whether you are working with rye bread, white bread or sourdough.

Natural Materials that Promote Perfect Proving

The rattan material in the basket has natural benefits for bread dough. It allows air circulation around the dough and helps draw moisture away from the surface, resulting in a light crust formation. This crust is essential for the dough to hold its shape during baking and gives the finished loaf a beautiful surface with characteristic patterns from the basket's structure. The cotton liner prevents the dough from sticking to the basket and makes it easy to transfer the dough to the baking tray.

Professional Results in the Home Kitchen

With this proving basket, you have the tools to achieve bakery-quality results at home. The oval shape gives your bread a classic form, and the basket's dimensions (340x205x80 mm) are well suited to a family-sized loaf. The included cotton liner can be washed at 30°C, so your baking equipment stays clean and hygienic. The basket's capacity of approximately 1,500–2,000 g of dough makes it a versatile tool in the kitchen, whether you are baking small rolls or large loaves.
