Scaritech Charlotte Cotton Banneton Cover

This cover is designed specifically for use with compatible Scaritech round bannetons, including the HZ556 range. If you are using a banneton from a different manufacturer, we would recommend confirming the internal diameter before ordering, as fit and function depend on the basket dimensions.

There is no fixed interval, but cotton covers do absorb flour and dough residue over time and will show wear with regular use. Most bakeries replace them periodically as part of routine hygiene management rather than waiting for visible deterioration. Keeping a small stock on hand is a practical approach for continuous production kitchens.

The cover creates a slightly different surface texture on the loaf compared to proofing directly against the cane or wood of the banneton, as the basket's spiral pattern is not imprinted on the dough. This is worth bearing in mind if a decorative crust pattern is part of your intended finish. Otherwise, the proofing process itself is not significantly affected.
