Oven as Proofing Box

Profile picture for user tssaweber

A while ago, I learned how to calibrate my oven. The range goes from +30 to -35. I did this to get better results making pizza.

A couple of days ago it came to my mind that I could also use this to decrease the heat of my oven and use it as a proofer. Look at the different results with my oven as proofing box, at 80F and with some warm water at the bottom!!!!
