Commercial Proofer





Now that I am baking for my daughter’s deli, I get to use her Commercial Proofer. A Commercial Proofer is a large metal cabinet with a thermostat. It is used for freshly made dough or frozen dough. The dough is placed on a long sheet and the sheet slides into the shelf. The Proofer allows the dough to ‘rise’ before baking.

One of the most important things to remember when using the Proofer is to always make certain that there is water in the bottom of the Proofer. The water keeps the Proofer from burning out.

I find that working with the Proofer is kind of fun. I like watching how quickly the dough rises. Mostly, using the Proofer makes me feel like a real baker!
