round rattan proving basket for bread and other dough by Paul Hollywood

• Paul is a big advocate of free-baked bread – baked the old-fashioned way, without a loaf tin
• a critical part of baking bread is allowing it prove properly, so that the bread develops its delicious flavours and textures
• this little proving basket gives your dough the perfect place to prove, and helps form it into an attractive round shape as it rises
• aka a Banneton basket
• well made, natural basket that allows the dough to breathe
• traditional rattan - the spiral textured interior leaves an attractive imprint on the dough for a rustic finish when baked
• also known as a banneton, brotform or a pani-pousse
• particularly useful when baking with wetter dough and tricky loaves such as sourdough
• this is a really unusual 'find' - a product that virtually no-one makes any more
