General Guidelines for Rising and Fermenting Bread Dough in the Proofer Prepare the Proofer. For bread dough, the Proofer should always have the water tray fi lled one-third to one-half full with clean water, and the tray should be placed in the center of the warming plate. The wire rack goes on top of the water tray.
Rustic Pizza Crust This easy recipe is our favorite pizza crust. The soft dough is a pleasure to work with and forms a nicely raised border with a crisp crust and open crumb. The dough can be mixed any time the day before, or on the morning of making the pizzas.
Page 18
Retard the Dough. Place the dough in the oiled bowl and turn it over so that it is lightly coated with oil. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least six hours, or up to 30 hours. Choose a Timetable. From the chart below, choose a fermentation temperature and its corresponding time to remove the dough from the refrigerator.
Page 19
isn’t necessary for creating a non-stick surface, we use a little semolina with parchment because it creates a crisp and delicious crust. If shaping on a peel, use a more generous layer of semolina so the pizza won’t stick. Shaping on parchment is easier than a peel, because the dough will stick to the parchment and not spring back when stretched, yet once the pizza is baked for a minute or so, the non-stick properties of the parchment kick in and the pizza slides off the paper effortlessly.
Golden Three-Wheat Boule This bread has a beautiful golden crumb, a sweet, complex aroma and a rustic crust. Bread fl our from hard red winter wheat forms the backbone of the bread, while durum wheat and whole grain “white” wheat contribute wonderful fl...

Put the fl ours and yeast in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Measure or weigh the ice water, add to the bowl and whisk vigorously until very smooth and lump free, about one minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover, and ferment in the Proofer for 12 hours at 75F/24C.

and fold the dough three times, at 20, 40 and 60 minutes. To stretch and fold, gently stretch one side of the dough with oiled fi ngers, then fold it towards the center and repeat on the opposite side, creating a business letter fold.

Ferment the Dough. Put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and place back in the Proofer at 80F/27C. Let the dough rise for 60-90 minutes or until it has doubled in volume. The dough is somewhat heavy due to the addition of cranberries and nuts so it does take a little while to rise fully.

Brød & Taylor Sourdough This rustic bread gets complex fl avor and a mild, delicious tang from a little dark rye in the sourdough starter. It has enough whole wheat and rye to give it a robust, earthy fl avor, yet still retains a moist and open crumb with a bit of chew.

Mix and Autolyse the Main Dough. Warm the water to about 85-90F/29- 32C (cooler if room temp is over 74F/23C). Measure or weigh the fl ours into a bowl, add the lukewarm water, and mix until all the fl our is moistened.
Page 29
Prepare to Bake. About an hour before baking, place a pizza stone in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450F/232C. Prepare to steam the oven using your regular method (such as tossing ice on a preheated sheet pan) or set out a deep, oven-proof rectangular pan to cover the loaf and create a steam chamber.
Making Yogurt: Custard-Style, Greek or Classic This recipe details all the steps for making thick, creamy “custard-style” yogurt, plus straining instructions for Greek yogurt. Custard-Style Yogurt This method highlights two techniques for creating thick yogurt: holding milk at 195F/90C for ten minutes before culturing, and allowing the yogurt to thicken at a lower temperature.
Page 31
Step Three: Cool Milk to 115F/46C and Innoculate with Live Culture. Remove the hot milk from the heat. Placing the pan in cold water will speed cooling. Wait until the milk reaches 115F/46. To inoculate the milk, add a cup/240 ml of the warm milk to a small bowl. Add the appropriate amount of yogurt with live cultures (1Tb for every 2 cups/30g for every 1 litre) and stir until smooth.
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Making Creamy Frozen Yogurt. To keep the texture creamy, limit the water content so that large ice crystals are less likely to form. Both milk and strawberries have plenty of water, so we strain the yogurt and reduce the juices that drain from the berries.
Page 33
Make and Chill the Pre-Mix. Fold the fruit into the extra-thick yogurt and stir in the extracts. Taste and correct for sugar (the mixture will seem a little less sweet after freezing). Chill the pre-mix thoroughly, then freeze according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. After freezing and mixing in the ice cream maker, transfer to the pre- frozen containers and allow to freeze until a little fi...
Lactose-Free Yogurt Make lactose-free yogurt without the high sugar levels and additives that are often found in commercial products. Regular milk and classic live cultures create a delicious, pure yogurt. The ability to set the Proofer to exact temperatures and customize the culture timing so that lactose is eliminated is an important differentiator among yogurt makers.
Page 35
Set up the Proofer. While the milk is cooling, set up the Proofer and adjust the temperature to 120F/49C. Make sure to use the rack, but the water tray is not required. Place glass jars in the Proofer to warm. Put the lid on the Proofer and allow it to come to temperature.
Page 36
Making Lactose-Free Honey-Vanilla Yogurt The 19-hour culture creates a lactose-free yogurt that is thick and creamy but quite tart. To create a mild, lightly sweetened honey-vanilla yogurt, fi rst stir in the baking soda and allow to sit for a few minutes while some of the acid is neutralized.
Yogurt-Making Notes Which Culture Should I Use? Our testing showed that store-bought yogurts are not all created equal—some make dramatically better starter cultures than others. While all the brands of plain “live culture” supermarket yogurt will work, some produce thinner textures while others are thicker, and a few produce yogurts that fi...

yogurt will be more likely to leak whey when it thickens at temperatures above 104F/40C, and less likely to leak whey below 104F/40C. At lower temperatures there is also a longer window of opportunity to stop the culturing before the yogurt turns lumpy. Our “High-Low”...
Tempering Chocolate Tempering allows the right crystal structure to form from the cocoa butter in chocolate, making the texture smooth, shiny and crisp. Step One: Melt the Chocolate. Set up the Proofer with wire rack in place and the thermostat at 115F/46C. The water tray may be placed underneath the rack, but make sure it is completely dry.
