Common Baking Problems/Remedies
Yeast doughs rise or “proof” best when the temperature is between 85°F (29°C) and 100°F (38°C). To make sure the dough is warm enough,
cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and/or cloth towel.
1. Turn the oven function selector to “BAKE”.
2. Turn Temperature control just until the back light comes on (typically around 200 degrees on the knob setting). Note that the Proof
function is designed to keep the oven between 85°F and 100°F regardless of what temperature the knob is set at.
3. Place the bowl on the center rack of the oven and close door. When you think the dough has doubled in size, lightly poke 2 fingers
about 1/2” (1.3 cm) into the dough. If the indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.
