9-Inch Sourdough Kit — Banneton Proofing Basket & Baking Tools
Product description
Everything a new sourdough baker needs is packed into this single kit. The set contains a 9-inch round banneton proofing basket made from natural rattan, a removable cloth liner, a Danish-style dough whisk for mixing, a metal bread lame with spare razor blades, a rigid dough scraper and a flexible plastic scraper, plus a small brush for cleaning the basket.
The rattan banneton is breathable and naturally absorbs a bit of surface moisture during fermentation, encouraging a well-formed crust and the classic spiral pattern on the loaf. The included liner makes it easier to transfer softer doughs without sticking and protects the basket during use.
Use the dough whisk to incorporate flour and water quickly without overworking the mix; the scrapers help divide, fold and shape dough and make it simple to move loaves to a baking surface. The bread lame is supplied with replacement blades so you can score neat, controlled slashes that allow proper oven spring.
Care is straightforward: brush excess flour from the rattan rather than soaking it, and store the basket dry to preserve the natural fibers. Sized for typical home baking, the 9-inch (about 23 cm) basket fits most standard sourdough loaves and is suitable for learning and improving your technique.

Very useful, check contents
I use the banneton, scrapers and lame all the time and love them. The photo showed a whisk and another tool that I didn’t receive. Recommend if your set arrives complete.

Exactly what I needed
Perfect for novices. I’d just begun and couldn’t tell essentials from extras; this kit had everything useful. Both metal and plastic scrapers are handy and I’ll use them for years.
