Proof Mode
FOR LOAVES YOU WILL LOVE
One of the secrets to a good bake is a good proof. Whether you make bread every
day or as a treat for special occasions, this mode will help you prepare buoyant,
beautifully raised breads. While professional bakers utilize proof boxes to stimulate
the correct environment for yeast activity, your M series oven is engineered with
similar technology to achieve the same fluy results. Proof Mode should typically
be used for the second or final proof, after the bread has already gained much of its
volume and flavor in an initial proofing or fermentation (often referred to as the “bulk
proof”). A low, gentle heat between 85°F and 110°F allows bread to rise more rapidly
than it would at room temperature, especially during colder seasons.
PROOF MODE REVIEW
– Proof on a single rack for best results
– Gentle heat provides the ideal
environment for proofing bread
– Covering dough with a damp cloth is
recommended
– Expedites the second proofing
