Proofing Basket ORION 28×22×9 cm rattan for bread rising, universal

ORION rattan proofing basket 28×22×9 cm is a traditional dough-rising basket designed to support shaped dough during the final fermentation stage. Made from natural rattan, the basket provides a breathable structure that helps maintain dough shape and promotes moisture release for a crisp, rustic crust. Its rectangular form and moderate depth accommodate a range of dough sizes and styles within the stated dimensions, making it suitable for home baking and small-scale artisanal use.

Advantages

The natural rattan construction offers gentle support without sticking to the dough, enabling even airflow and consistent fermentation. The basket’s rigid walls preserve the loaf’s form during proofing, reducing spreading and helping bakers achieve well-defined loaves. Its compact size and lightweight design make storage and handling simple, and the breathable material contributes to improved crust development during baking.

Suitable for

• Shaping and proofing sourdough, rye, whole grain and white bread dough within the basket dimensions
• Home baking and small-batch artisan bread production
• Cold retardation in the refrigerator for overnight proofs
• Transporting shaped dough to the oven or baking stone

Key specifications

• Material: natural rattan
• Shape: rectangular
• Internal dimensions: approximately 28 cm × 22 cm × 9 cm (length × width × height)
• Breathable woven structure for moisture release
• Lightweight and rigid walls for dough support

How to use

Dust the basket lightly with rice flour or all-purpose flour before placing the shaped dough inside to reduce sticking. Place the dough seam-side up or seam-side down depending on desired crust pattern and proof according to your recipe until the final rise. For refrigerated proofing, cover the dough with a cloth or place the basket inside a food-safe container. When ready to bake, invert the basket gently onto the baking surface so the dough transfers without damage.

Usage recommendations

To maintain the rattan and prolong service life, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and wash only by brushing out excess flour and wiping with a damp cloth when necessary. Allow the basket to dry fully in a well-ventilated area before storage. Use rice flour for dusting to minimize adhesion and preserve the basket’s woven surface.
