From Wikipedia: A banneton is a type of basket used to provide structure for the sourdough breads during proofing. Proofing baskets are distinct from loaf pans in that the bread is normally removed from these baskets before baking. Traditionally these baskets are made out of wicker, but many modern proofing baskets are made out of silicone or plastic.
Hey, bannetons cost $20 each! Do I think I can find a basket for less at Big Lots, Cost Plus or Ross Stores?
The Bread Bible says I can use a colander, of which I have two. Let the bread rise within, When it's finishing rising, invert onto parchment paper with a disk underneath that matches the size of the dough so it doesn't fall and collapse.
