xTradition meets modern baking
Experience a traditional Brotform basket that connects you to centuries of artisan bread making. Frieling's Round Proofing Basket, 10 inches in diameter, is designed for doughs such as sourdough, country white, whole wheat, and rye. Crafted from natural cane, it wicks moisture away from the surface of the dough, helping you achieve a well-defined, crisp crust and an even rise.
What you gain with this bread proofing basket
Key benefits include a better crust, a reliable rise, and simple handling. The ribbed, circular interior helps the dough hold shape as it expands, creating attractive loaf contours. The basket's construction also aids in easy release when you transfer the loaf from the basket to a baking sheet.
- Traditional design used by bakers for generations, updated for home kitchens
- Natural cane material absorbs moisture, supporting crust development
- Ribbed interior creates signature loaf texture and even rise
- 10-inch diameter accommodates approximately a 2-pound loaf
- Dual function as a serving basket for warm, rustic display
How to use
To prepare for proofing, dust the basket with flour. Place kneaded dough in the basket for its final rise, then gently transfer to a baking sheet to bake. After baking, you can return the loaf to the basket to keep warm for serving.
- Do not place the basket in the oven—use it only for proofing
- Lightly flour and rotate the dough as needed during the final rise
- Cool loaf briefly before slicing for best texture
