The patterns on the \"basket\" leave their imprint on the dough just like a traditional cane banneton\/brötform. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe material's properties really add something to your bread production; the pulp absorbs water from the surface of the dough, improving the crust and the surface of the basket holds enough flour to allow even fairly wet dough to release easily. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe baskets are made of pulped German spruce wood, a sustainable material.
