Medium-sized Bulka Wood Pulp Basket: Designed to shape loaves that bake up to 750g, this oval proofing basket supports sourdough, rye, and other artisan breads through their final rise. Its firm structure helps maintain shape and prevent collapse, so your bread comes out beautifully shaped and well-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 remove 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 leftover 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.
