Tools of the Trade
A banneton (brotform) is a wicker basket used for proofing/rising doughs. Bannetons come in a variety of shapes: round, oval, rectangle, triangle for instance. They are available lined or unlined. The lining is usually linen to prevent the dough from sticking. You can also use a bowl, basket or colander lined with linen cloth.
​
Breads up to 200 grams work nicely in a 5" banneton. Larger breads would use larger bannetons.
Common banneton sizes:
-
100-200 grams - 5" round banneton
-
250-300 grams - 6" round
-
400-500 grams - 7" round
-
600-800 grams - 9" round
