The word “proofing” is the most important step in baking bread. It’s the final rise through which dough undergoes after it is shaped into a loaf but before it is baked. In industrial production, it is imperative that proofing achieves consistent characteristics for the dough.

A proofing cabinet is a critical component in any bakery designed to provide culinary craftsmen with the perfect environment to achieve the best bread, croissants and doughnuts possible. It encourages the fermentation of dough by yeast through warm temperatures and controlled humidity.

These machines heat dough, which makes it rise faster and gives the bread a specific flavour.  Proofers are an essential piece of hardware that bakers just can’t do without. They play an important role in helping to ensure that the products are all tailored to the baker’s exact quality standards.

They can be found at different prices. For Sheffield Africa, we need to understand how much bakery goods you plan to produce per day among other factors to consider.

These include:

• Capacity: This refers to the number of pans it can hold.
• Sheet Pan Type: Some can fit traditional sheet pans; others can fit deeper food pans or circular pizza pans.
• Style: Some pans can be installed against a wall, so you can conserve your kitchen’s valuable walking area, while others can be installed between prep areas or between the kitchen and serving lines to help maximize flow efficiency.
