Proofing Basket ORION 43×16×7 cm rattan for bread fermentation and shaping

ORION rattan proofing basket sized 43×16×7 cm is designed to support dough during fermentation and final proofing. The woven rattan surface holds the dough in a consistent shape and promotes gentle airflow around the crust while the dough rises, helping retain form for bâtards, loaves and artisan-style bread. The basket is intended for home bakers and small-scale baking where controlled shaping and reliable proofing are required.

Advantages

The natural rattan construction provides a firm yet breathable support that reduces sticking and helps moisture evaporate evenly from the dough surface. Its oval dimensions accommodate medium-length loaves and bâtards, assisting in even expansion and predictable shaping. The lightweight, rigid weave is easy to handle and stores compactly when not in use.

Suitable for

• Proofing bâtards and medium-length loaves
• Final dough shaping before baking
• Home and small-batch artisan bread production
• Cold retardation in the refrigerator

Key specifications

• Material: woven natural rattan
• Shape: oval
• External dimensions: 43 × 16 × 7 cm (length × width × height)
• Surface: open weave to promote airflow
• Intended use: dough fermentation and final proof

How to use

Lightly flour the interior of the rattan basket or line it with a cloth to reduce sticking, then place the shaped dough seam-side up for the final rise. Transfer the basket to a warm, draft-free area or into refrigeration for cold proofing as required by your recipe. When the dough has completed its proof, gently invert the basket over a baking surface and transfer the loaf into a preheated oven for baking.

Usage recommendations

To extend the life of the rattan basket, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. After use, brush off excess flour and allow the basket to air dry completely before storage. Regular light dusting with flour before each use helps prevent sticking and maintains consistent results.
