Cooking Guide and Tips (continued)
Proof
It is often difcult to maintain a consistent temperature in
your home to proof doughs for baking breads,
especially when the outside temperatures can be either
too warm or too cold. The Proof mode solves that by
providing a very low heat to maintain a gentle climate
for yeast to grow. The convection fans do not run while
proong to keep dough from drying out before it fully
rises.
Any baked good that contains yeast should be proofed
to produce the air bubbles that make leavened foods
taste light and uffy, including:
• Breads such as sourdough, whole-grain, rye
country-style, and even gluten-free
• Enriched breads including breads enriched with
sugar, fat, and sometimes eggs, such as brioche
and challah.
• Italian focaccia and pizza
• Raised donuts
• Cinnamon rolls
• Morning buns
• Viennoiserie, which are baked good such as
brioche, croissants and Danish pastries

Dehydrate
Dehydrating is an excellent way to preserve food and
make healthy snacks with fruits, vegetables and herbs
right from your garden. You can also make delicious
jerky as well. The Dehyd mode delivers a low consistent
heat that provides the perfect environment to reduce
the moisture content from food. The oven has preset
temperatures to customize the temperature as needed.
Times will vary depending on the thickness of the
product as well as the moisture content. Some fruits are
better for dehydrating than others. Bananas, for
example, have a satisfying crispy texture, along with a
sweet avor when dried. Apples, mangos, papaya,
pineapple, cherries, strawberries, plums and apricots
are also great choices. Savory fruits like tomatoes are
best for sun drying. You can also dehydrate
vegetables like zucchini or green beans for a tasty and
healthy snack.
