Bread Bosses 9 Inch Banneton Proofing Basket and Bread Bakers Lame Slashing Tool

A round proofing basket and a scoring lame: the two small tools behind a bakery-shaped boule.

See current price on Amazon

Why it fits Lumi’s kitchen

  • A banneton supports the dough while it proofs, so a round loaf keeps its shape.
  • The lame scores a clean, shallow cut that lets the loaf open where you choose.
  • Sold as a pair, which makes it an easy gift for a new sourdough baker.

“The spiral flour rings on a bakery loaf come from the basket, and the clean ear comes from the blade.” — a note from Lumi’s world, not a product test.

What to check on the listing

  • Exactly what is in the box (liner, spare blades)
  • Basket size against the loaves you bake
  • The maker’s care notes for the basket

Pros

  • Two starter tools in one box
  • An easy gift for a new sourdough baker
  • Small and light to store

Considerations

  • The basket needs flouring and drying so dough does not stick
  • A 9 inch round suits standard boules, not large loaves
  • Lame blades are sharp; store them with care
