Racks and Bakeware" for diagram. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of boiling
water in broiler pan. Close door.
1. Press and hold BAKED GOODS for 5 seconds. Display will
show 100°F (38°C).
2. Press START.
Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size, check at 20 to
25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type
and quantity.
3. Press CANCEL!OFF when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and
cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Follow
