If you are looking to make homemade bread that has a crunchy crust, ribbed and uniform shape, then you need a brotform, otherwise known as a bread rising basket or banneton. It's simple to use; just flour the brotform and place the kneaded dough in the basket for its final rise, then transfer the loaf onto a baking sheet to bake. The brotform is made of a natural cane following a century-old tradition and works well with homemade bread or with bread machines.
Love it ! Great proofing basket. If you don't have one and you bake a lot of bread, GET ONE !. David. Kettering, OH. Wed Jun 25 2025
