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 two, then place broiler pan on guide one. See
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" for diagram. Put 2 cups
(500 mL) of boiling water in the broiler pan. Close the door.

type and quantity.
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking
pan(s) and cover loosely with plastic wrap, coated with cooking
spray. Follow the same placement, broiler pan and water and
control steps above. Before baking, remove the plastic wrap.
