xElevate Your Sourdough with Thoughtful Proofing
The Qavinch 2-pack offers a curated duo of bread proofing baskets crafted to support a confident, hands-on baking experience. Made from high-quality natural rattan cane, these baskets contribute gentle airflow and moisture balance, helping dough rise with a well-defined crumb while preserving the dough’s surface. The included washable linen liners make preparation straightforward and help you achieve consistent results across batches.
Two Shapes, One Great Set
This set includes a 9-inch round banneton and a 10-inch oval proofing basket, each designed to shape loaves with distinct character. The round basket helps create classic boule silhouettes, while the oval form lends a more rustic, artisan look. Each vessel can cradle up to 2 pounds of dough, making it suitable for a variety of sourdough scales and recipes.
- Round Banneton: 9 inches, ideal for boule-focused loaves.
- Oval Basket: 10 inches, great for longer, rustic-shaped loaves.
- Linings Included: Washable linen liners to assist with dough release and clean-up.
Why Bakers Love This Set

They’re also a friendly option for sourdough newcomers exploring different loaf styles and textures.

Care, Use, and Storage Tips
To keep performance high, dust the baskets with a light layer of rice flour to minimize sticking. After baking, tap out excess flour, and store in an area with good air movement. For cleaning, avoid harsh detergents; rinse with cold water, then air-dry to prevent shrinkage. Occasional vinegar-water rinses help maintain a fresh feel without leaving chemical residues.
Whether you are relaxing into a weekend bake or experimenting with a new recipe, these baskets are designed to support steady, repeatable results. They offer a tangible, reusable option that complements a home baker’s routine and elevates the craft of sourdough bread making.
