Küchenprofi 18cm Round Proofing Basket for Bread Dough
Perfect Your Homemade Bread
The Küchenprofi 18cm Round Proofing Basket is designed to support dough during the final proofing stage, helping bakers achieve beautifully shaped homemade bread with improved texture and crust development. Crafted from durable rattan cane (Peddigrohr) derived from the rattan palm, this traditional bread-making tool provides an ideal environment for dough to rise before baking.
Used by professional and home bakers alike, proofing baskets help dough maintain its structure while encouraging the development of a more uniform loaf shape.
Supports Better Bread Shape and Texture
During the final rise, the basket helps guide the dough into a consistent round shape while supporting its structure. The natural rattan cane helps draw away excess surface moisture from the dough during proofing, supporting the development of a well-formed crust after baking.
As the dough rises inside the basket, the woven construction leaves the characteristic spiral pattern that many bakers associate with artisan-style bread.
Traditional Bread Baking Made Easy
Using the basket is simple. Before placing dough inside, dust the basket generously with flour to help prevent sticking. During proofing, the basket supports the dough as it expands, helping maintain its shape until it is ready for baking.
The 18cm diameter makes it suitable for shaping round loaves while remaining compact enough for convenient storage when not in use.
Durable Natural Construction
Made from sturdy rattan cane (Peddigrohr), this proofing basket is designed for repeated use. Cleaning is straightforward—simply tap out any excess flour after use and store the basket completely dry and protected from moisture.
The basket can also be used as a bread basket for serving or displaying baked loaves.
