Small perforations improve airflow and temperature consistency inside the Proofer Pro while proofing, and allow moisture to escape during baking for a crisp, evenly browned crust. This perforated pan is ideal for croissants and pastries.

The Brod & Taylor dough proofing box is the perfect container for mixing, proofing, and folding any type of bread or pizza dough. The box is made of food-safe, BPA-free polypropylene for durability. Its naturally nonstick property prevents dough from sticking and makes cleanup easy. Ensure a perfect rise by using the tight-fitting lid which helps maintain consistent humidity and temperature. Volume markings on the side make it easy to track dough height. 

The proofing boxes measure 12.8" long x 10.5" wide x 4" deep, and have a capacity of 6 liters, making them ideal for up to 3kg of dough each. Two boxes fit perfectly in the Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer and the Brod & Taylor Proofer Pro.

The Brod & Taylor proofing boxes are dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and stackable. 

Sold in sets of two.

During the final proof, a banneton (proofing basket) gives structure to your dough that helps it rise upward instead of outward. The support of the basket encourages better height, shape, texture and results in a stronger rise and crisper crust. When maintained well, these baskets can be used for years. 

Brod & Taylor's proofing baskets are affordable without sacrificing quality or safety. The upcycled sugarcane pulp and renewable bamboo material results in a basket with shallow grooves, making it especially easy to clean out any leftover flour. Pulp material also absorbs moisture more evenly across the surface; this can help prevent sticking, encourage a slightly drier exterior, and promote better crust development in hearth-style loaves. Some bakers find that pulp creates a more consistent skin on high-hydration doughs. 

While rattan baskets are often used with cloth liners (especially for higher-hydration doughs), pulp baskets are typically designed to be used without one. This simplifies the process and gives a more natural flour-dusted finish.

Pulp baskets are commonly used in professional bakeries for efficiency and uniformity.

The Brod & Taylor Boule banneton measures 8.5" diameter by 3" deep. We also offer Brod & Taylor's Batard pulp basket.

Great bread begins with a great starter and when it comes to sourdough starter, temperature is everything! The complex mix of microbes that cause bread to rise (and give your bread a distinctive flavor and aroma) are extremely sensitive to their environment. The Sourdough Home provides an easy way to precisely control the behavior of your starter. With degree-by-degree control from 41-122°F (5-50°C) you can maintain a consistent temperature or vary it to control the growth rate, aroma, and flavor of your bread. You can switch the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

The inside of the proofer measures 5-1/8" x 5.5" x 7.5" which allows a 1 quart jar or two smaller jars to fit inside. Two shelves are included for flexible storage of small items.

As acclaimed sourdough baker Maurizio Leo from the Perfect Loaf blog explains in the video above "It's important that a sourdough starter is maintained in a consistent way, but the challenge there is that the temperature in your kitchen, even from one side of the kitchen to the other, can vary quite drastically... one of the great things about the Sourdough Home is that it allows you to effortlessly dial in the temperature that you want to keep your sourdough starter at."

The Sourdough Home by Brod & Taylor offers a convenient, quiet, and compact way to maintain the temperature of your sourdough starter at the exact temperature you want to keep it at, whether that's a warm environment as you're preparing to bake with it, or a cool environment if you want to store it between bakes. The Sourdough Home both cools and heats, so you have total flexibility with how often you want to feed your starter, whether that's twice a day or once a week, or anywhere in between.

Sourdough starter is a living colony of yeast and good bacteria. Like any living thing it needs to eat—just flour and water. Feeding your starter the proper ingredients at the right time is the first step in creating great sourdough bread. Using the precise temperature control of the Sourdough Home, you can adjust starter feeding times to meet your schedule.

As starter ferments and grows, it creates CO₂ bubbles that cause the mixture to rise in its container. The ideal time to feed starter is when the rise has peaked—all of its food has been consumed—and before it begins to fall again. By using a constant seed ratio (quantity of flour and water) and controlling the temperature, you can control the feeding schedule to hours, days or even a week. Use the guidelines below to get started.

In a small town in Western Massachusetts, Brod & Taylor was founded on a passion for making wholesome food from scratch. Their products transform this often challenging process into a simple pleasure by blending innovative design with simplicity, affordability, and outstanding customer support.

Lamination without a sheeter is a long and tedious process, often with inconsistent results. The Japan Kneader 15.5-inch RS201 dough sheeter speeds up the process and achieves professional-level precision. Now you can easily sheet up to 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs.) at a time! The RS201 Japan Kneader dough sheeter helps bakers achieve consistent dough thickness and professional-quality results with less effort. It is particularly well suited for laminated pastries, where even thickness is essential for creating distinct layers and a light, flaky texture. Popular laminated products include croissants, Danish pastries, puff pastry, kouign-amann, and cruffins. 

Now you can easily sheet up to 600 grams (1.3 lbs.) of dough at a time with ten easy-to-change thickness adjustments from 0 mm to 17.5 mm! The board measures 12" wide by 27.5" long and is double-sided, with a white nonstick soft polypropylene surface for rolling and a blue high-density polypropylene surface for both rolling and cutting.
