Less Sticking, More Rising

Got wet dough? No Problem! Our basket is made from compressed wood pulp that naturally wicks excessive moisture away from dough skin. So you get a consistent rise with crispy crust without needing a liner, making it ideal for high hydration doughs such as sourdough.

A Basket That Practically Cleans Itself

Proofing takes patience, but cleaning our bannetons is a breeze. With a non-stick, textured surface, your dough releases easily, leaving sticky mess behind. Just let the basket dry naturally or use the residual heat from the oven, then brush off any leftover bits. That's all it takes!

Multiple Sizes, Shapes & Patterns

Whether you are in the mood for making a sandwich loaf or a French boule, we've got you covered with different size/shape and pattern combinations. Choose from small baskets holding 500g of dough to large brotforms accomodating 1kg of dough.

Take Artisan Bread to the Next Level

If you are serious about making exceptional bread, then it's time to step up to this time-tested banneton straight from the old country. The secret sauce is in its thick walls, which provide all-around support and even temperature for perfectly proofed dough every single time.

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

Why does my dough cling to my banneton like a toddler to their favorite toy?

Dough sticks when the banneton isn’t floured enough. Dust it generously with flour (gluten-free flour works best) to ensure a clean release and a perfect shape.

Do I need a PhD to clean my banneton?

Definitely not! After each use, brush off excess flour and ensure it dries completely—moisture invites mold. Drying in the oven with residual heat at 250°F is the gold standard for keeping your banneton clean and mold-free! Never wash it with water!

Is my Bulka banneton made of cardboard?

Nope, it’s crafted from premium, food-safe wood pulp! Unlike cardboard, wood pulp is durable, breathable, and perfect for proofing dough. It helps regulate moisture for better results, giving your bread that perfect crust and shape every time.

What happens when my Bulka banneton decides to start a mushroom farm?

Mold thrives in moisture! Always dry your banneton completely after use, ideally using the oven's residual heat, and store it in a well-ventilated spot. If mold does form, it's best to dispose of the basket to keep your baking safe and hygienic.

I live in humid climate, and/or my dough proofs in the fridge. Any tips for my banneton?

Moisture is the enemy! Always ensure your banneton is thoroughly dried after each use. The residual heat method is the best basket's friend. Then store it in a dry and well-ventilated area—this is crucial to prevent mold and keep it bake-ready!

Bulka Banneton

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

Good quality but too big

I'm impressed that the banneton is so solid and sturdy. I'm sure it would last a long time if following instructions and not using too stiff a brush. And I like how it absorbed moisture and made the dough firm. But it's just too big! They say it's 9", but the outside diam is 10"; the inside at the rim is 8 3/4" and the base is 6". They say it is for "up to 1 kg dough", but I used it with 0.9 kg dough (525 g flour) and it came out too wide and short. The loaf came out concave in the middle. I would say this is for MINIMUM 1 kg dough. I wish they were clearer about the size, and that they made a waffle pattern 8" outside diam.

Bulka is simply the Best!!

After baking bread for many years, I finally found the perfect bread proofing basket!! The Bulka Banneton bread proofing basket is by far the best I have ever used!! I now have 3 of them, and I will use my new ones along with my well used original to make multiple loaves at a time.I will, and have been, recommending Bulka to all my baking family and friends.

Best of the Best

Fabulous Banneton. Have always before used rattan with linen liner for my sourdough. Have been reading about the woodpulp ones from Germany and so many leaders in sourdough recommend them. Decided to make the splurge and it was so worth it. A simple light sprinkle of rice flour. Bread does not stick, releases easily. Simple to clean just let dry and brush it out. Will get several more shapes and sizes. I am a believer.
