The commercial bread proofing box (also called a fermentation cabinet or dough proofer) is a specialized machine that maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels during the dough fermentation process. This bread dough proofing box guarantees consistency across dozens—or even hundreds—of loaves at once.

How to Use a Commercial Dough Proofer
- Load trays of dough into the cabinet.
- Set temperature & humidity (commonly 80–90°F with 70–85% humidity).
- Monitor progress via digital controls and glass doors.
- Unload & bake as soon as the dough reaches the desired rise.

FAQs About Commercial Proofing Boxes
1. Why is a commercial proofing box better than manual proofing?
It guarantees consistent fermentation across multiple trays, saving time and reducing waste.
2. How many trays can a commercial dough proofer hold?
Depending on the model, anywhere from 10 trays (small) to 50+ trays (large double-door cabinets), with walk-in proofers handling even more.
3. Do I need humidity control for all bread types?
Yes—humidity is essential for keeping dough soft and preventing early crust formation.
4. Can Foodline proofers be customized?
Absolutely. We provide single, double, and walk-in proofing solutions tailored to your bakery’s scale.
