1.5kg Oval Smooth-Surface Brotform or Proofing Basket

This 1.5kg oval smooth brotform is made from nothing but compressed, sustainably sourced wood-fibre - with no plastics, resins or synthetic binders. The result is a durable, breathable proofing basket that supports dough naturally while remaining fully biodegradable at the end of its life.

Wood-fibre brotforms are widely favoured for sourdough and artisan bread baking as they help regulate surface moisture during proving. This encourages good dough tension, improved oven spring and a more consistent final loaf shape.

To use, simply dust the brotform lightly with flour (rye flour works particularly well) before placing the shaped dough inside. After proving, the dough is tipped out directly onto a peel or baking surface, ready for scoring with a lame before baking.

Cleaning is simple and low-impact. Allow the brotform to dry fully between uses, then brush off any excess dried flour using a dedicated cleaning brush. Store in a clean, dry place, ideally stacked with good airflow.

A reliable, plastic-free choice for bakers who value performance, simplicity and materials that stay true to traditional bread-making.
