Smith Rattan Round Bread Proofing Basket

The Round That Makes Every Boule Worth Waiting For

There is a particular pleasure in turning out a perfectly risen boule — that moment when the dough holds its shape, the surface is taut, and you know the oven is going to do the rest. The Smith Rattan Round Bread Proofing Basket is built for exactly that moment. Handwoven from sustainable rattan with a soft cotton liner, it cradles your dough during the final prove, encouraging an even rise and leaving the characteristic spiral pattern that marks a loaf made with intention.

The round form is ideal for boules, small sourdoughs, and compact country loaves. At 8cm H x 23cm D x 23cm W, it is sized to support a standard home bake without taking up unnecessary worktop space. The removable cotton liner keeps the basket clean between sessions and lifts out easily for a quick wipe-down. The whole thing is lightweight enough to move around the kitchen without a second thought.

Crafted from 98% rattan and 2% cotton, the Smith basket is a considered choice for bakers who care about materials as much as results. The natural cream tone sits quietly in any kitchen setting, and the round shape makes it a versatile companion for anyone who bakes regularly or is just getting started with sourdough.

How to Use

Lightly dust the basket with flour before placing your shaped dough inside. Cover and leave to prove at room temperature or refrigerate for a slow cold ferment. Once proved, turn the dough out onto a baking surface, score, and load into a preheated oven. After use, shake out excess flour and wipe clean with a soft cloth. Allow to dry fully before storing. Do not submerge in water.
