Large Bulka Wood Pulp Basket: Crafted to shape round loaves that bake up to 1000g, this proofing basket supports sourdough, rye, and other artisan breads during the final rise. Its firm structure helps your dough hold height and form, so your bread comes out tall, round, and beautifully risen.

Thick Walls for Even Fermentation: Made from breathable wood pulp, Bulka bannetons insulate your dough evenly, promoting consistent proofing and better rise, even in cooler kitchens.

Crusty Outside, Airy Inside: Wood pulp naturally absorbs excess moisture, helping you create that crackly crust and open crumb artisan bakers love.

Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable: Our bannetons are crafted from sustainably sourced European spruce pulp - no rainforest rattan, no chemicals. Just a clean, natural product that’s gentle on the planet and your bread.

Easy Release, No Washing Required: The non-stick texture of wood pulp makes it easy to release proofed dough without tearing and deflating. After baking, simply dry your banneton in a turned-off oven (210–220°F) for 20–40 minutes, then brush off any remaining flour. No washing, no fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my dough stick to the banneton during proofing?
A: Insufficient flouring is typically the culprit. Apply a generous, even coating of gluten-free flour to create a non-stick barrier that ensures clean release and maintains your loaf's shape.

Q: What's the proper way to maintain my banneton?
A: Maintenance is straightforward but critical. Remove excess flour after each use and ensure complete drying to prevent mold formation. Drying with oven residual heat at 220°F provides optimal results. Water should never be used for cleaning.

Q: What material is used in Bulka bannetons?
A: Our bannetons are constructed from premium, food-safe spruce wood pulp. This material offers superior durability and breathability, effectively regulating moisture levels to enhance crust development and shape retention.

Q: How should I handle mold growth on my banneton?
A: Mold develops due to retained moisture. Prevent this by ensuring complete drying after each use, utilizing oven residual heat, and storing in well-ventilated conditions. If mold appears, disposal is recommended for food safety.

Q: What special considerations apply for humid climates or refrigerated proofing?
A: Moisture management becomes critical in these conditions. Thorough drying after each use is essential. The residual heat method is particularly effective. Storage must be in a dry, well ventilated location to prevent mold development.

I absolutely love proofing by sourdough in this wood pulp banneton

I absolutely love proofing by sourdough in this wood pulp banneton. They wick away the moisture while proofing and when it’s time to bake they gracefully release out perfectly.
If you are into creating Sourdough these are a MUST have.

So amazing it's reinvigorated my passion for bread baking!

For many years, I have been a passionate baker of bread, but the last year or so, that passion had waned considerably. My loaves were not turning out well, and I was no longer inspired to knead and bake.

After a trip to Frankfurt, however (where I devoured many an amazing loaf), I returned home to the U.S. with a renewed interest, and purchased this German-made proofing basket with considerable hopes...and oh my were they rewarded! I have successfully baked the best bread of my life, and my wife and family have been enamored with the results.

Thank you, Bulka, for renewing my passion and doing the German baking tradition proud!

Wonderful Banneton baskets. I purchased two sizes and will likely get more. Nothing sticks to them and dough holds it’s shape. Highly recommend.
