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

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.

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. 😊

[@ColleenScatena69]

I have something similar but I have a heating pad in mine but I love this

[@Rosalie1363]

Wow so amazing thank you for sharing your brilliance 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@joypolk3093]

Enjoyed your video. Such a valuable tool and cleverly done🤗🤗

[@ruthsnively7248]

This is the greatest video ever!!!! Thanks.

This is a great idea! However, I will use this method but use a more Durable container such as a tote

[@staciemarie5859]

Simply brilliant, thank you for sharing this!

Remarkable! So creative!👍👏👏👏

I boiled water and fill 2 mason jars and put it in the microwave with my dough and shut the door. Works

[@notrob4376]

Wouldn't the box rot from the moister of the steam?

[@virginiavoigt2418]

Probably in time. Save your boxes. It doesn't look hard to make a new one.

[@serachbrachaalbert6437]

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

[@Gardeninggurl]

That's a very good question

[@shansi1931]

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 😥

[@LeighMatthewswriter]

Ingenious. Any issues with the cardboard getting soggy from the humidity?

[@wabi-sabibaker107]

Yes L, well spotted. But it will dry out between bakes. Also you can upgrade from a cardboard box to a plastic storage box.

[@waldemarrivera3910]

Good idea, but you need a better microphone. The sound is a wee bit too low.

[@joanwoodrooffe360]

You've gotta be an engineer :) Surprisingly simple.

[@wabi-sabibaker107]

Simplicity, not perfection.

[@Molaleni]

Perfect

[@trrealityafterchemotv8295]

Great idea!

[@mdruhol2587]

Nice video

[@rosesavoia4657]

Great idea but could not hear you well

[@j.l.emerson592]

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.

[@virenshinde9225]

Instead of water how about using a heating bulb .

[@daveheel]

Clever

[@Aswajar]

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.

[@wabi-sabibaker107]

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.

[@Aswajar]

@@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]

How to do use to ur oven for proofing donuts

[@Aswajar]

@@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.

[@abalone317]

@@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 :)

[@robshell4259]

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