<p>A proofing apparatus for rising dough, comprising: an enclosure for containing the dough; a hot air supply inlet opening into the interior of the enclosure for causing the dough to rise; hot air ducting for connecting the hot air supply inlet opening directly to a hot air supply source; a hot air outlet opening from the interior of the enclosure; a probe for sensing the temperature in the interior of the enclosure; a control system responsive to the temperature sensing probe for regulating the inflow of the hot air through the hot air supply inlet in accordance with the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing probe; and a system for humidifying the interior of the enclosure. The proofing apparatus saves energy by using waste heat and obviates the need for a heat exchanger. The proofing environment can be accurately controlled. A process for rising dough in the proofing apparatus is also disclosed.</p> |
