You forgot the most important thing: The amount of time the dough needs to rise for. Letting the dough sit for too long will kill the air in the bread, and can make it taste like yeast. Also, letting the dough prove twice (first time in the mixing bowl), always gets the best result.

That's one smart tip to make the proving faster, BUT know that you are sacrificing that yeasty flavor that you get with longer proving. If you prove it at room temperature (meaning 25° C) and covered with a damp cloth to keep it moist for at least 1 hour you'll get all those beautiful bubbles and robust flavor. If you want MAX YEASTY FLAVA prove it in the fridge covered with oiled cling film overnight, it's like a cheat for sourdough :o

"Lovely little air bubbles"? Come on now. Just say what it really is. The yeast is farting out CO2! :D

I have a deep pot to proof my dough, but I use my sink to proof it.
I fill my sink with the correct water temp; [the same as the yeast temp], put on the cover and weigh down the lid to keep the pot from floating and tipping.
Just keep enough oil around the dough to help the dough to rise without sticking.
This way I can keep the temp the way it needs to be and watch the dough rise.
My success has shown the dough to rise twice as much as any other way.

"Turn your oven on"... what temperature?

how to prove dough: i dough, therefore i am

I feel like an idiot with the way this is being explained to me. my sarcasm radar is rising for no reason

[shawnwhiteshair]

I sometimes use a heating pad on low and put the dough on top covered.
Love the vintage range.cheers.

I've been proofing my bread in my microwave with a measuring cup of boiled water. I have to admit, the rise is much higher but proofing bread like that seems to alter the taste and texture of my bread which I don't like as well. My bread seems to lose some of the flavor when I did it that way. I proofed a couple loaves that way. Though I'm really impressed with the higher rise I think the light on only in the oven to rise my dough is the best option for me, if nothing else better flavor and texture.


I noticed the dough really fills the pan and is well over the top in the video before she puts it in her oven which was probably at the lowest temperature when she warmed it for 2 seconds. But once she put the water and the dough in to let it raise it didn't really look like it was risen twice it's size. My bread dough rises higher than that when I don't use this proofing method with water.


At the time I seen this video I was impressed and decided to try it. But now that I've done it a couple of times I'm no longer impressed because it does alter the flavor and texture.

Yes but what temperature do you set your oven to in the beginning?

[wizpro]

Been doing the oven trick for some time now!!! Awesome! Thank you!

[clarencejoseph]

At which temperature in Fahrenheit did you preheat your oven?

[rblangie]

Ok so what is the temperature of the oven and how long are you proving using that method?

[connerwhite]

Thank you! One method told me to place a cloth towel in the oven over my bread. It worked out fine but this method will relieve my paranoia 👍🏿

[spacial]

Nice idea.
Personally, I have a cardboard box in a warm room. I put the raw dough in, spray it with water, then cover for about 3 hours.
Thank you for explaining your method.

It is better do prove your dough in a colder environment. You can leave it out  in the kitchen, prep your dough with cold water, or even leave your dough to prove in the fridge overnight! This will develop the breads flavour to leave you with a tasty, well aerated bread

[NoorAlShihaby]

Oh my goodness how adorable was that person explaining the video?! Please let's see more of Nicole!

[RainbowGardens]

This is exactly how I prove my dough too! I thought I was the only one. :) Haha

Amazing, great tip. We want to make more homemade bread, did it was once and it was good fun. And so easy!
