What Role does the Banneton play in traditional French bread-making?
In traditional French bread-making, the banneton plays a crucial role in shaping and fermenting dough, particularly for rustic breads like pain de campagne. The basket supports the dough as it rises, helping to develop its structure and texture. The breathable materials, such as wicker or cane, allow for even moisture distribution, which is essential for achieving the ideal crust and texture in the finished loaf. The banneton is not just a tool in French baking; it symbolizes the artisanal craftsmanship and dedication to quality that are central to French culinary tradition.
Brief History of the Banneton :
What is the Origin of the Term Banneton ?
The term "banneton" originates from the French language, where it specifically refers to a type of basket used in bread-making. The word is derived from "bannette," a French term for a small basket.

Over time, "banneton" came to describe the specialized baskets used for proofing bread dough, particularly in the context of French baking traditions.
