The Secret Behind Beautiful Sourdough Crusts
A banneton does not just hold shape—the porous cane breathes, drawing excess moisture away from the outer skin of your dough. When turned into a screaming hot Dutch oven, this dried skin forms that coveted blistered, shatteringly crisp crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you bake the bread inside the banneton?
No! Bannetons are strictly for rising/proofing dough. Never place rattan baskets in an oven. Gently invert the dough out onto parchment paper before baking.
