Folding Proofer
Proof. Slow cook. Fold flat.
A warm, humid home for your dough. A slow cooker for your own pot. And when you're done, it folds down to 6.5 cm.
One box. Three jobs.
Two modes, precise to the degree – for dough, yogurt and slow-cooked meals.
Proof mode · 21–35 °C
Warm, humid air for dough
Proof mode keeps your dough at the temperature you set. Fill the water tray, and the humidity stays at 60–80%, so the dough rises evenly without drying out or forming a skin.
Proof mode · up to 49 °C
Steady warmth for yogurt
Leave out the water tray, and Proof mode goes up to 49 °C – for yogurt, kefir and other cultures in closed jars. There's room for eight 1-litre jars.
Slow cook mode · 30–90 °C
Your own pot, low and slow
Put your own pot, up to about 7.5 litres, straight on the heating plate. Most dishes take 10–12 hours, and you can leave it on overnight.
The right temperature for every dough
Set it once. The dough rises at the same pace, whatever the weather.
Yeast dough
24–26 °C
Sourdough
27–30 °C
Rye bread
27–30 °C
Croissants and sweet dough
Max. 27 °C
Recommended settings in Proof mode. The Folding Proofer is calibrated to the temperature of the dough, not the air.
Folds to 6.5 cm
Open, it's 25.5 cm tall. Folded, it slides into a drawer or cupboard – with the rack and water tray stored inside.

FAQ
Questions about the Folding Proofer
Before you buy
What is the Brød & Taylor Folding Proofer?
A folding proofing box with precise temperature and humidity control. In Proof mode, it gives yeast dough and sourdough a warm, humid place to rise. In Slow cook mode, it turns your own pot into a slow cooker. When you're done, it folds flat for storage.
What can I use it for?
Mainly for proofing dough, but it's handy for much more:
- Bread, sourdough, pizza dough and croissants
- Yogurt, kefir, kombucha and tempeh
- Soft cheese and cultured butter
- Tempering chocolate and sous vide
- Slow-cooked one-pot meals
Which temperatures can I set?
In Proof mode, from 21 to 35 °C with the water tray, and up to 49 °C without it. In Slow cook mode, from 30 to 90 °C. The full range is 21–90 °C.
How does it control humidity?
With the aluminium water tray under the rack. When it's filled, the humidity is typically 60–80%, so the dough doesn't dry out. For yogurt and other closed containers, leave the tray out.
What fits inside?
Inside, it measures 37.5 × 32 × 20 cm (W × D × H). That's room for loaf pans, bannetons, large mixing bowls, quarter-sheet baking trays, eight 1-litre jars or a pot of up to about 7.5 litres. Loaf pans should measure less than 30.5 × 35.5 cm in total, including rims and handles. Half-sheet trays (33 × 46 cm) don't fit.
How big is it, open and folded?
Open, it measures 46 × 37 × 25.5 cm. Folded, it's just 6.5 cm high, with the rack and water tray stored inside. It weighs 4.3 kg.
Is it a bread machine?
No. You still mix and shape the dough yourself. The Folding Proofer gives the dough a steady, warm and humid place to rise – and you bake it in your oven.
What is it made of?
The body is reinforced polypropylene, the water tray is aluminium, and the heating plate is solid, brushed aluminium. The window in the lid is BPA-free SAN plastic.
How much power does it use?
It runs on 220–240 V, 50 Hz, and uses 180–220 W at most. It only heats as much as it needs to, so it uses far less when it holds a low proofing temperature.
What does the accessory shelf add?
The Proofer Accessory Shelf gives you a second level, 10 cm above the rack – room for two baking sheets or four loaf pans at once. Its legs fold, and clips hold them open while you use it.
How is it different from Sourdough Home?
The Folding Proofer heats, and it's large enough for bowls of dough, loaf pans and pots. Brød & Taylor Sourdough Home is a small box that both heats and cools, made to keep your sourdough starter at the right temperature between bakes.
Proofing dough
Which temperature should I use for dough?
Recommended settings in Proof mode:
- Yeast dough: 24–26 °C
- Sourdough and rye: 27–30 °C
- Croissants and sweet doughs with butter: 27 °C or lower
Dough straight from the fridge needs about an extra hour per 500 g to rise.
Do I need to cover the dough?
Most dough doesn't need a cover in humid Proof mode. A cover raises the dough's temperature by 1–3 °C. For long, cool rises, a cover is a good idea.
Why does the setting differ from the air temperature?
The Folding Proofer is calibrated to the temperature of the food, not the air. So a thermometer in the air inside can show a different number, while the dough is at the temperature you set.
Does it work in a cold kitchen?
Yes. Proof mode is calibrated for a room temperature of 18–21 °C. If the room is below 13 °C, set it a little higher.
Can I leave it on overnight?
Yes. The Folding Proofer is approved for continuous, unattended use – including overnight.
Is it noisy?
No. It runs silently.
Yogurt and slow cooking
How do I make yogurt in it?
Use Proof mode without the water tray, with the yogurt in closed jars. Without the tray, you can set it up to 49 °C. There's room for eight 1-litre jars.
Which pots work for slow cooking?
A stainless steel pot with a thick, flat base gives the most accurate temperature. Cast iron runs 5–8 °C cooler at high settings unless you wrap it in foil. Ceramic crocks and ramekins don't work. The pot must fit inside the box: 37.5 × 32 × 20 cm.
How long does slow cooking take?
Most dishes take 10–12 hours, and there's no maximum run time. To convert a slow-cooker recipe, use the times for the LOW setting. To keep food warm, use 71 °C – the food should stay above 66 °C.
Cleaning and storage
How do I clean it?
Never put the base in water. Wipe it with a damp cloth. When you slow cook, a sheet of foil under the pot catches spills.
How do I fold and store it?
Put the rack and water tray inside, fold the walls down and close the lid. Keep the folding walls attached to the hinges at the back. A carrying case for the Folding Proofer is available separately.
The Brød & Taylor Folding Proofer 240V with Accessory Shelf delivers precise temperature and humidity control, ideal for proofing bread dough, fermenting sourdough, and crafting probiotic foods like yogurt, kombucha, and kefir.
