It's this one. This is the one you want.
If you're looking for a banneton (bread proofing basket), this is the one you're looking for. Choose whichever shape and pattern you want, but Bulka is 100% the quality and construction of banneton you're after. All of the usual praises are in order for the exceptional packaging, shipping, all of that good stuff - but the product itself, typical for German quality, is outstanding. Proofing in it is a breeze - I have had zero sticking, cleanup is a breeze, just a light flouring and you're off to the races. It's beautiful, it's quality, it's sustainable, it's German, and it proofs an exquisite loaf at a reasonable price for the quality. Stop looking and researching (I do so obsessively). This is your final stop. Click the buy button and spend more time enjoying a beautifully simple and fulfilling way to make your own food. Thank you Bulka for making something excellent in a world full of garbage.

SUPERIOR PRODUCT
These are so far superior to the bamboo style banneton they shouldn't even be compared to each other. These are a little pricey, however they are worth it. The statement you get what you pay for applies here. Your bread doesn't stick, you don't have to wash liners, they absorb moisture. My only complaint is you can't really clean them so some of my cinnamon sugar loaf leaked and there is nothing I can do about it that one has just become the sugar loaf banneton. If you tried to clean them they peel apart like a cardboard box in the rain.

Well Made and Convenient to use!
I’m very satisfied with my BULKA Banneton! This banneton made a huge difference in the quality of my bread and the size makes it easy to proof in the fridge overnight. I dusted the banneton with a light layer of rice flour before the overnight rest and there was NO dough sticking to the banneton when I removed it for baking. So convenient and easy to use!

Thumbs up!
I recently used the Bulka bread banneton to make a sourdough loaf, and I’m beyond impressed with its performance. The quality of the banneton is evident from the start, with a sturdy build and a textured , surface that makes bread-making enjoyable and mess-free. Each loaf turns out beautifully lofty with a well-defined shape, adding an artisan look to my bakes. Cleanup is a breeze, and while I initially wondered about its long-term durability, it has held up wonderfully so far. It’s refreshing to support smaller companies that deliver high-quality craftsmanship—keep up the great work!”

The Best I have found
I bought the Bulka Banneton Bread Proofing Basket Spruce Wood Pulp Round 9" Groove with doubts and figuring I could return it if it didn't meet my expectations. This banneton is the last brand/type of banneton that I will ever purchase! It not only met EVERY expectation I had but exceeded them.I make several loaves of sourdough bread a week and have fought with different proofing baskets to release the dough that either stuck to the bottom, sides, or both. With the Bulka - I sprinkle a bit of rice flour onto the bottom of the basket and the sides of the dough, and you will have ZERO sticking - the dough turns out easily. You'll have flawlessly stunning loaves of sourdough to bake.As for clean-up, there isn't any. The dough doesn't stick, so all you have to do is tap the basket over the garbage to release and remove any rice flour. Once the bread is out of the oven - the oven is turned off - the door is open to cool down - I place my basket in the oven to dry from any residual moisture from the dough; leaving the basket in the oven overnight to continue cooling and drying. My basket looks as good as new after proofing dozens of loaves of bread.I can't say enough good things about the Bulka brand - I want to get every style of basket they make. This is the only brand I will buy from now forward.

Great bowl, wish it was smaller or had steeper sides
I got this bowl after my regular bamboo one was SPLINTERING. I'm not gonna use something that may leave splinters in my bread. I love that it's made from pulp and has no potential for splintering! It also releases dough well.I just wish the shape was less big/shallow and that it had a smaller center and steeper sides so as to allow for the bowl to be used with small loaves as well as big ones. I use Elaine Boddy's recipes (with 500g flour) and this bowl was just too big and shallow for them. It did work well when I doubled the batch, but I was wanting to use it for the smaller ones too. Guess I need yet another banneton for those. 🤪
