re: #28 Killgore Trout

Snowing outside and I’m experimenting with proofing bread in the oven instead of my usual improvised proofing box. The kitchen is too cold for the bread to rise on it’s own. These old houses are drafty.

I use a large plastic container with cups filled with boiling water before placing the box over the dough. I replace the water every 15 minutes. The problem I’ve had with proofing bread in the oven is I like the oven to be good an hot before I throw the bread in and if I’ve used it to proof , then the bread might loose it’s shape before the oven is hot enough for it to go in.

But yeah, winter sucks for bread baking in old houses.
