I really like the look of the rustic banneton. It also makes (in my humble opinion) my boules easier to move. They feel more firm. The boule with the C is a total natural seem opening. Not bad, it almost looks like I placed a C on my boule myself. Well, when I do 4 boules with 2 bannetons it does provide options for those that may prefer one to the other.
Warm Regards,

I use a small wicker basket and line it with a well-floured kitchen towel. The look is homey, but not as gorgeous as your banneton loaf. Very pretty.
Thank you so much for the compliment! I am on the look out for some baskets to do just what you are talking about. I do love that natural look of a basket! It speaks to me of homey goodness! I just have some bowls right now and the bannetons.

Nice loaves Casey. Keep in mind bannetons are essential to some loaves having a higher profile. Wet doughs benefit from the bowl allowing them to grow taller than they could without. With stiffer doughs you get more options on how to proof. Even a bowl with a towel is an option if nothing else is available although its best if its breathable.
Nice Baking

Josh,
yes, I was thinking of pure aesthetics! I am such a female. However, this is something I will keep in mind as I bake other breads. Perspective is key!
