ProofingBread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Standard Proof should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and second rise. Rapid Proof (on some models) operates at a slightly higher temperature than Standard Proof, and it can be used for the second rise of formed dough.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 100°F (38°C), “oven cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 100°F (38°C).
1.Press BREAD PROOF until the desired proof is displayed (“Standard Proof” or “Rapid Proof”). Rapid Bread Proofing is available only on some models.
2.Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3.Press OFF when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s) and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 100°F (38°C), the display will indicate “oven cooling” until the temperature is below 100°F (38°C).
