Superbaking 9 Inch Round Banneton Starter Kit

Brand: Superbaking

A gift boxed set around a 9 inch round rattan banneton, the size that suits a standard boule of roughly 750 grams of dough. The basket is woven from A grade rattan, comes with a cloth liner for softer crusts and finer flour handling, and is joined by scoring and scraping tools plus a printed guide. Everything is packed to be handed over as a present, which explains much of its popularity.

Best for a baker who has a starter going and now wants shape rather than a puddle of dough on a tray. The rattan spiral leaves the familiar rings on the crust and wicks moisture from the surface, which helps scoring. Rattan does need respect: brush it out, let it dry fully, never soak it. Anyone still without a live culture should buy a starter separately, since none is included.
