Round Wood Pulp Proofing Basket
If you, as an amateur bread baker, want to create delicious homemade bread, then a proofing basket is crucial. During the final proofing, the proofing basket gives your bread dough the perfect place to rest for developing stability and a loose crumb. The wood pulp proofing basket offers optimal conditions for this final proofing process: it absorbs moisture and preserves the warmth of the bread dough. Shaping the dough also becomes much easier with a well-floured wood pulp proofing basket. Cleaning is easy as pie, a quick brushing is enough. Our wood pulp proofing baskets have been manufactured by a traditional German manufacturer since the 1920s. Only spruce wood fibers from regional and sustainable forestry is used.

Weight Guidelines for Wood Pulp Proofing Baskets
The weight information refers to the weight of bread with over 50% rye flour content after baking. For other bread mixtures with a higher proportion of a grain with more volume development, such as wheat and its original forms spelt, einkorn, emmer and kamut, you should choose the next larger form. For dense multigrain breads, the next smaller form should be used.
The weight loss of bread dough during baking is approximately 10-20%, depending on the bread and baking process.
