I use eight of the round rattan proofing baskets to do the final fermentation of sourdough loaves for the family and lucky neighbors. Initially dust with 50/50 rice flour/white AP flour, then just AP after that... they release very nicely, and your bread takes on the impression of the basket.
This is a review of Pleasant Hill customer service only. I ordered this item on 7/28 but have not received it as of 8/26. ETA is now 8/28. When I placed order the item was listed as “in stock” on the website. I soon received a notice that it was back ordered. OK, that happens. Received a number of updates on back order status. Last notice indicated ETA of 8/10, then no further word. On 8/23 website listed 3 items in stock but I had received no notice of shipping. I called customer service. The woman I spoke with said they were in stock and that she would notify back order shipment department to ship to me. I received a shipping notice later that day. Apparently the back order system did not fill my order automatically from recently arrived stock. If I had not called I don’t know when I would have had my order filled. I’ll review the item when and if I receive it.
These baskets work well for proofing. They absorb moisture for a better crust and the spiral design of the basket transfers to the loaf making for a professional looking artisan loaf. I spritzed mine with a bit of water and then dusted it with flour. Results were great.
High quality basket. Manufactured better than other baskets I looked at to purchase.
I've been searching for a source for willow bread raising baskets. These are well made and provide a beautiful pattern on the finished loaf. Pleasant Hill Grain is a wonderful resource with very knowledgeable staff.
I use rice flour in my baskets. Outstanding! Nothing sticks.
Creates a beautiful loaf. I love doing business with Pleasant Hill Grain.
I finally treated myself to a proofing basket and am so happy I did. Making beautiful loaves, like never before!
Pricey but works and looks great.
These baskets are made of a wood-like material not your typical basket ratan. It is not porous so that flour does not get stuck in the crevices. My sourdough needs some work on the other hand....
