What is the correct term for a proof basket that is like any round basket but with a dome rising in the center, so a circle of dough can lie in the "moat" between the center dome and basket wall, like a fer a' cheval.
It doesn't appear on searches for bannetons or brotforms. Is there a name, or is it something makeshifted from another basket?

Couronne banneton
Is all I've ever heard it called.
Not Certain; but:
How 'bout Tortano basket? You cold also use a angel food cake pan.
But, the fer a' cheval isn't a complete circle so I'm not sure about your description
Couronne

Oh. There it is. No special name.
Okay, Gary. There it is with a wooden center, just referred to as banneton. And I kept looking and found this one sold as a brotform.
I have made my own
