Ring-Shaped "Couronne" Cane Proofing Basket with Alder Wood Core
With this ring-shaped rattan proofing basket, you can create beautiful ring-shaped loaves like the traditional french-style Couronne Bordelaise, Couronne Bretonne or even a bread wreath. Plus, your baked goods will benefit from the fantastic proofing properties found with rattan proofing baskets. Which, like our other proofing baskets are made in Germany by traditional manufacturers. The middle core of the proofing basket uses an alderwood cone that gives ring-shaped bread its typical shape.
These proofing basket can be used without a liner, provided the basket is sufficiently dusted with flour. If you prefer to use a washable liner, I recommend a matching Linen liner. Alternatively, there is also a stretchable cotton liner available for the ring-shaped proofing basket.
What speaks for our German-made rattan proofing baskets?
Unlike most imported rattan proofing baskets, our raw material is not chemically bleached but is processed untreated. Only the best high-quality material is used by the manufacturer Herbert Birnbaum, who is located in Lower Franconia.
Weight Guidelines for this Proofing basket
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.
Details
Made in Germany
Material:
- Rattan from the rattan palm with an alderwood core
Dimensions:
Diameter: 26 cm
Bread weight up to 1250 g
Care instructions
- Proofing baskets are only suitable for proofing. The bread should never be baked in it!
- With rattan proofing baskets I recommend using a liner or else regulary tap out excess flour with a cloth so that you do not have to spray the basket with releasing agent.
- Since the proofing basket absorbs water from the dough, it must be completely dry after use to prevent mold. To do this, you can place it in the oven on a rack at residual heat (not directly on a hot baking sheet or stone).
- When dry, the proofing baskets can be stored on top of each other in a well-ventilated place.
- Rattan proofing baskets can be cleaned wet occasionally, but must then be allowed to dry completely.

This linen insert was sewn specifically to fit into our Ring-Shaped "Couronne" Cane Proofing Basket. The linen insert allows for your proofed dough to be easily turned out of the proofing basket and avoid having to use a wax seperation layer. Linen has very beneficial proofing properties and you can be easily washed as needed in the washing machine.
Linen Insert How to Guide:
Pull the linen insert over the rattan proofing basket. Moisten it lightly, for example with our Glass Spray Bottle. Sprinkle the insert generously with flour so that the dough does not stick. Then place your bread dough into the proofing basket allow for proofing.Details:

A cotton proofing basket cover has two uses. You can either use it as a lining for your proofing basket so that the dough lies on the cloth and not directly on the proofing basket (useful for rattan proofing baskets) or to cover a proofing basket with dough in it to prevent the dough from forming a crust and drying out.
I also like to use the elastic cotton covers to store my wood pulp proofing baskets, as they are breathable but prevent flour residues from ending up in the cupboard.
