The PATISSE proofing basket is an oval woven basket designed for shaping elongated loaves of bread. For baguettes, for example.
Key features
Use: Used for the final proofing stage of bread dough to give the loaf its shape and characteristic ribbed pattern.
Material: Natural rattan (willow weave), which absorbs excess moisture from the dough surface, helping to create a crispy crust.
Important: This basket is for proofing only; it must not be placed in the oven. Before use, the basket should be generously floured to prevent the dough from sticking.

Preparation for use
For the PATISSE bread proofing basket to work flawlessly and for the dough never to stick to it, it must be prepared before its very first use. Natural rattan is very dry at first, so flour won't stick to it unless you use this method:
- Moistening the basket (only once!) Lightly spray the inside of the basket with water from a sprayer or wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. The basket doesn't need to be wet, just slightly damp so the flour can adhere to the wicker.
- First layer of flour Sprinkle a generous amount of flour into the basket and carefully work it into all the grooves and between the wicker with your hands or a brush. Tap out any excess flour by gently hitting the bottom of the basket.
- Complete drying Allow the basket to dry completely for at least 1-2 hours (ideally overnight) before placing the first dough in it. This created "flour crust" will serve as a protective layer.
Pro Tip
Rice flour Most bakers recommend using rice flour (or a 50/50 mixture with wheat flour) for dusting the basket. Rice flour is gluten-free and does not absorb moisture as quickly as wheat flour, so it acts like "Teflon" - the dough literally slides out of the basket.
Daily care after use
Never wash the basket with soap! If necessary, use only water and a stiff brush. After each use, simply brush off excess flour with a dry brush and allow the basket to dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold formation.
