Sourdough Proofing & Baking Gift Set

Everything they need to take shaped dough through its final proof and into the oven with confidence.

This premium baking set brings together three pieces of equipment that can transform a homemade loaf: a proper cast-iron Dutch oven, a natural rattan banneton and a reusable silicone bread sling.

It is ideal for someone who already has a sourdough starter—or a new baker building a proper baking set-up from the beginning.

Why you’ll love this

• A complete set for proofing, transferring and baking
• Cast iron helps create a crisp, deeply coloured crust
• A natural rattan banneton supports the dough’s final rise
• A reusable sling makes lowering dough into the pot easier
• Practical equipment designed to be used for years
• Carefully packed with free UK delivery

A gift that begins with one loaf

The right equipment does not replace skill or time, but it makes good results far easier to repeat.

The banneton supports the dough as it completes its final rise. The silicone sling helps move it without disturbing its shape. Inside the Dutch oven, the heavy cast iron holds heat and traps steam around the dough as it bakes.

Together, they help create the rise, crust and shape that make a homemade sourdough loaf so satisfying.

What’s included

• 4.7-litre cast-iron Dutch oven – A substantial 3.6kg cooking pot that holds heat and steam around the dough during baking. Approximately 30 × 30 × 32cm and suitable for use on the hob and in the oven.
• Reusable silicone bread sling – A non-stick surface for lifting shaped dough from the banneton and lowering it into the Dutch oven with less handling.
• 20cm natural rattan banneton – Supports round loaves during their final proof and helps create the traditional ringed finish.
• Reusable banneton liner – Offers a smoother finish while helping keep the proofing basket clean.

This is a proofing and baking equipment set. Sourdough starter, flour and other ingredients are not included.

Made for first-time bakers

Dutch-oven baking can make a noticeable difference to a first loaf. The enclosed pot creates a steamy baking environment that would otherwise be difficult to reproduce in a domestic oven.

This set is suitable for a beginner who already has a starter and recipe, as well as an experienced home baker ready to replace improvised equipment with a dependable set-up.

Our online baking guides and friendly support are available whenever they need a little help.

Ready to give

The set arrives carefully packed and can be sent directly to the recipient. No prices are included inside the parcel.

It makes a substantial gift for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, housewarmings or anyone becoming more serious about baking bread at home.

Unlike ingredients that are quickly used, these are practical pieces of equipment they can return to for loaf after loaf.
