Westmark proving basket – perfect fermentation for home baking
This oval proving basket from Westmark is made from 100% natural rattan with an included cotton cover. Measuring 39.5x15.4 cm with a depth of 7.2 cm, the basket creates ideal conditions for proving dough. It has a capacity of approx. 1,500–2,000 g of dough, making it suitable for most home bakers.
Ideal for proving and resting all types of bread dough, including rye and sourdough, where the natural rattan creates optimal fermentation conditions for your home-baked bread.
Natural materials for better bread results
The rattan material is completely odourless and natural, meaning it does not impart any unwanted flavours or aromas to your dough. At the same time, the open structure of the basket allows the right amount of air to circulate around the dough, promoting even proving and flavour development. The included cotton cover prevents the dough from sticking to the basket and can easily be washed at 30°C.
A professional appearance for your home-baked bread
Using a proving basket gives your bread not only a better texture and flavour, but also a beautiful, professional appearance. The oval shape gives your bread the characteristic pattern and form associated with bread from quality bakeries. This makes your home-baked loaves both visually appealing and more flavoursome, as correct proving encourages the development of a crisp crust and an open, airy crumb.

You can leave the dough to prove for anywhere between 30 minutes and 24 hours, depending on your recipe and whether you place the basket in the refrigerator for a slow prove.
