Saint Germain Bakery Premium Round Bread Banneton Basket with Liner - Perfect Brotform Proofing Basket for Making Beautiful Bread (8 inch)

This is a handy size for proving small loaves. An 8 inch/20cm loaf is ideal for a small household. Most proving baskets are much bigger than this. It seems to prevent the dough getting too wet which was a problem I had with my loaves. The bread keeps its shape better and bakes into a nicely domed loaf with faint ribbing. I dusted the liner with rice flour which I knocked out afterwards. The dough doesn't stick and there's no sign of damp or mould which I've had with other baskets.

This is a decent banneton basket. I have 2 others in different shapes and size that I have used for quite a while. They are a good material and sturdy. They are easy to use and clean. I didn't get any accessories other than the cover which is all I was looking for. I have made a couple of loaves that have turned out very well.

The 8 inch brotform was the perfect size for a recipe using 3 cups of flour. I made a loaf of rosemary olive oil bread and it came out a beautiful round shape thanks to the brotform. I had tried this recipe several previous times without the brotform and the loaf spread out rather than rise into an oval. I did not use the liner so my bread had that interesting rib shape on top. I look forward to making more loaves and perfecting my bread baking skills. ,

Baskets are in perfect condition, I'm very happy with them
