Product Info
Oval Rattan Banneton Proofing Basket
Craft beautifully shaped sourdough batards at home with our oval rattan banneton — a traditional proofing basket designed to support your dough during its final rise and create that classic artisan look.
Handcrafted from 100% natural, sustainable rattan, this banneton encourages healthy airflow around your dough while it proofs. Rattan naturally wicks away excess surface moisture, helping your loaf hold its shape, release cleanly, and bake with a more defined crust.
It’s the perfect basket for dinner-party loaves and family-sized bakes — slice, share, and pair with cheese and wine.
Key Features
- Hand made: Traditional artisan-style construction.
- 100% organically grown rattan: Natural, sustainable, and breathable.
- Food safe rattan cane: Designed for bread proofing.
- Stainless steel staples: No rust and built to last.
- Oval shape: Ideal for batards and rustic sharing loaves.
Why Use a Rattan Banneton?
A banneton gives your dough structure during proofing, promotes more even fermentation, and helps develop a better crust. Rattan is especially loved because it’s breathable and naturally helps manage moisture — which means a cleaner release and a better-looking loaf.
Care Instructions
- Dust lightly with flour before use (rice flour works best for preventing sticking).
- After use, let the banneton air-dry completely in a warm, airy spot.
- Brush out excess flour and store somewhere dry between bakes.
- Avoid soaking — excess moisture can cause mould and weaken natural fibres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use a liner?
No — you can proof directly in the rattan for a more defined pattern. A liner can be helpful for very wet doughs or if you prefer a smoother finish.
What flour should I use to stop sticking?
Rice flour is the best option because it absorbs less moisture and is less sticky than wheat flour. A 50/50 mix of rice flour and bread flour also works well.
Can I wash the banneton?
It’s best not to wash or soak rattan. Instead, let it dry fully, then brush out flour. For an occasional refresh, brush thoroughly and lightly mist with white vinegar, then air dry fully in a sunny, breezy spot.
Will it grow mould?
Only if it’s stored damp. Make sure the basket is completely dry after each use and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Is it only for sourdough?
No — it’s great for yeasted breads too. Any dough that benefits from structure during its final rise will do well in a banneton.

Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love my Large Kefirko Water Kefir Kit! The quality
Absolutely love my Large Kefirko Water Kefir Kit! The quality, design and ease of use are fantastic. It’s made getting into home fermentation so much easier, and the 1250ml size is perfect.
The kit feels well thought out, practical and built for regular use. It’s also great to see a small family business offering quality products and genuinely caring about its customers.
Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to plenty more batches of homemade water kefir. I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend The Fermentation Station!

Great way of starting off on Kefir making
decided to get this to make it easy for my first attempt at Kefir making and it has been great, works well, easy to clean and see what the kefir is up to. Comes with everything you need to make Kefir, grains have grown and producing well, takes a little time and patience but worth it.

Ordered Milk Kefir Grains (300ml)
I ordered Milk Kefir Grains from The Fermentation Station because the other options for amazon I tried weren’t good enough, and I’m really happy with them. They arrived in good condition, and they’ve been growing well since I started fermenting. Thanks to The Fermentation Station for the support and the friendly help getting started!

First sourdough bread
Great starter (San Francisco), and the instructions were clear in the e-book. I’m about to bake my second sourdough bread, the first was a resounding success! Yet to try the French starter.

Great milk kefir grains - thank you!
My milk kefir grains arrived promptly. I started culturing them immediately. They have grown exponentially to the point where I put grains in my smoothies along with the kefir. The grains are very healthy and my gut is responding well to them!

300 ml milk Fermentation Station kit is a perfect choice for a single person
300 ml milk Fermentation Station kit is a perfect choice for a single person. I chose your company because of the Growth Premix to help boost the quality of the Kifer milk Grains.
The results speak for themselves, I’ve never had such a delicious creamy lightly tangy outcome before, I love the taste and consistency and can’t wait for each morning. I think the Growth Premix was the missing link from my previous attempts at home made milk Kifer.
Thank you
