Proofing Bread

(single, upper and, on some models, lower oven)
Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place 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 broiler pan. Close door.
1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or, on some
models, LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.
2. Press and hold BAKED GOODS for 5 seconds.
Display will show 100°F (38°C).
3. Press START.
Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size, check at 20-25
minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type
and quantity. See the cookbook supplied with the oven(s) for
additional information.
Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and
cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Follow
same placement, broiler pan and water and control steps above.
Before baking, remove plastic wrap.
