Bannetons and other bread proofing baskets (sometimes called brotforms), are used to hold shaped bread dough as it rises. They help the dough maintain its shape, which is particularly helpful if it’s a wet, high-hydration dough that, without the support of the basket, might otherwise flatten into a pancake.
