I am soooooo glad that I found your site before investing in a premade proofing box.! I am just about to start baking my own low carb bread and I don't know if I'll be any good at it or even like it. With this I can try it and tweak my bread again and again without a major outlay of cash! If I decide I don't want to do it after experimenting, I'm only out the cost of the baking supplies and not past the return date on the machine. If I do like it, there's still no reason to buy a machine because this works. And my motto is "If it aint broke, why fix it?" Totally a win-win situation!! Than you so much!
Made something similar to your proofing box out of some EPS foam I had from another project. Solves the humidity problem, I heat mine with a hot water bottle, releases heat more evenly and for a good long time.
@@wabi-sabibaker107 Or a polystyrene one, our fish monger delivers his frozen fish to us in them but I believe they can be bought quite cheaply too. But your video and advice is brilliant and very welcome as the days get colder and I need to keep my sourdough starter warmer than the current room temperature.
Is there a reason not to use the oven in a similar way? Then only the boiling water and a thermometer will be needed-in addition to saving counter space
The oven needs to be pre-heated for baking, so taking out the proofed dough to preheat the oven will affect the final results. My dough totally collapsed once I took it out to preheat the oven 😥
Or you could have just used your oven. This was a good idea. I've been using my oven but can only hold 4 trays at a time. I need to build something to hold bigger sheet pan and up to 8 sheets. This was cute though.
Thank you Aswajarna, the box idea is good for short proofing when the oven is pre heating. You could use a large plastic storage container with the same heat and humidity source for bigger batches.
@@wabi-sabibaker107 oh yeah!!! hahaha totally slipped my mind that most people here are baking bread! I just use mines to proof doughnuts and then fry. Makes total sense now!
@@jameiasmaincourse2177 I just turn on the oven lights and close the door. If I need a little more humidity in the oven I boil water and pour into a shallow pan that I placed at the bottom of the oven.
@@Aswajar Thank you for this tip! I am making my own SD starter this week and had NO WHERE warm to keep it. Oven with oven light on has been the perfect solution :)

Every bit of the project says a creative man did it, awesome!

This is fantastic! Thank you. I have a mini crock pot which would probably work well and avoid opening the door and losing temp. ❤
Thank you. 😊

I have something similar but I have a heating pad in mine but I love this
Enjoyed your video. Such a valuable tool and cleverly done🤗🤗
Simply brilliant, thank you for sharing this!
Remarkable!
So creative!👍👏👏👏
This is a great idea! However, I will use this method but use a more Durable container such as a tote
Wow so amazing thank you for sharing your brilliance 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is the greatest video ever!!!! Thanks.
BRILLIANT, thank you!
I boiled water and fill 2 mason jars and put it in the microwave with my dough and shut the door. Works
Great idea!
Nice video
You've gotta be an engineer :) Surprisingly simple.
Simplicity, not perfection.
Perfect
Good idea, but you need a better microphone. The sound is a wee bit too low.
Wouldn't the box rot from the moister of the steam?
Probably in time. Save your boxes. It doesn't look hard to make a new one.
Ingenious. Any issues with the cardboard getting soggy from the humidity?
Yes L, well spotted. But it will dry out between bakes. Also you can upgrade from a cardboard box to a plastic storage box.

That's a very good question

Clever
Great idea but could not hear you well
Yes, the audio was awful. At times you can be heard & at other times you seemed to be too far from the mic or maybe mumbling.
Or you could have just used your oven. This was a good idea. I've been using my oven but can only hold 4 trays at a time. I need to build something to hold bigger sheet pan and up to 8 sheets. This was cute though.

How to do use to ur oven for proofing donuts

Instead of water how about using a heating bulb .

PROOF BOX
You get what you pay for, with the bread also.
