Dating from the early-twentieth century, this pair of woven bowls or "bannetons" were originally used by Boulanger's for proving dough to make round loaves or "boules" from which evolved the word Boulanger.

These baskets are traditionally crafted from natural reeds or wicker and are designed to shape and support the dough during its final rise before baking. The basket's structure allows for optimal air circulation, which helps develop a crispy crust and a beautiful, rustic appearance. The ridges of the basket leave characteristic lines on the dough, enhancing the loaf's aesthetic. These baskets are valued by artisan bakers for their functional and decorative qualities.
