Why Choose Wood Pulp Bannetons

Wood Pulp vs. Rattan Bannetons

Why wood pulp performs better

Attribute
Wood pulp
Rattan

Moisture Absorption

✓Superior wicking

Effectively captures moisture for crispier crust and improved shape-retention

—Moderate

Retains surface moisture, can soften the crust

Dough Release

✓Naturally Non-stick

Easy dough release with only a light flouring

—Poor

Dough regularly sticks to liner even with careful prep

Oven Spring

✓Maximized rise

Improved moisture wicking improves gas retention, crumb, and oven-spring

—Inconsistent

Excess surface moisture can limit oven spring and crumb development

Antimicrobial

✓Naturally resistant

Our formula naturally prevents bacteria buildup

✕Mold risk

Allows for excessive flour build-up that harbors moisture and often leads to molding

Environmental Impact

✓Sustainable

Recyclable and made from renewable Maple wood pulp (virgin offcuts from the paper industry)

—Harvest Pressure

Sourcing strains slow-growing rattan ecosystems and can't be recycled

Shape Retention

✓Maintains Profile

Holds shape for longer, increasing the scoring window and improving the loaf's final shape

—Variable

Dough loses shape quicker, complicating scoring and oven transfer

Care & Maintenance

✓Easy to Clean

Flour build-up stays on the surface for easy scraping and cleaning

—Difficult

Flour sits deep within the liner, requiring a careful cleaning regime

I love the wood pulp design and not having to order my bannetons all the way from France.

I tried several other bannetons and this one is by far the best quality. I love how non-stick it is.
