Brod & Taylor Folding Proofer with Accessory Shelf

Brød & Taylor Folding Proofer with Accessory Shelf

Temperature-controlled folding proofer and slow cooker with a second-level accessory shelf

The Brød & Taylor Folding Proofer with Accessory Shelf gives bread dough a stable environment for fermentation and final proofing, then folds nearly flat when the work is done. Adjustable temperature and gentle humidity take much of the guesswork out of sourdough and yeast dough, while the included shelf adds a second level when you need to proof more at once.

Consistent Temperature for Better Fermentation

Room temperature changes throughout the year, but bread fermentation responds directly to temperature. The Folding Proofer gives you a controlled environment for sourdough, yeast dough, preferments, and final proofing, making fermentation timing more repeatable from bake to bake.

Add water to the included tray when you want gentle humidity for uncovered dough. Brød & Taylor lists typical humidity at 60–80%, helping keep the surface of the dough soft while it rises.

Included Shelf Doubles Your Proofing Levels

The included Accessory Shelf stands four inches above the lower rack to create a second level inside the Proofer. It is especially useful when proofing multiple loaves, rolls, or pans at the same time and can accommodate two sheet pans or four loaf pans when appropriately sized.

The shelf legs fold when not in use, making the accessory easier to store alongside the Proofer.

Signature Features

70–195°F temperature range: A broad adjustable range supports bread proofing, culturing, fermentation, and slow cooking.

Controlled proofing environment: Consistent temperature helps make fermentation and proofing times more predictable than relying on room conditions.

Gentle humidity: The aluminum water tray can provide approximately 60–80% humidity to help uncovered dough resist drying and skin formation.

Accessory Shelf included: Adds a second level four inches above the lower rack for increased proofing capacity.

Slow Cooker mode: Remove the rack and place a suitable metal pot directly on the heating plate for controlled slow cooking.

More than bread: The controlled environment can also be used for yogurt, kombucha, cultured butter, soft cheese, kefir, tempeh, chocolate tempering, and other temperature-sensitive foods.

Folds flat: The Proofer collapses from 10 inches high when open to just 2.75 inches high for easier cabinet, pantry, or shelf storage.

Internal parts storage: The standard rack and water tray fit inside the folded unit between uses.

Proofing and Slow Cooking

For humid bread proofing, place dough on the rack and use the water tray to add gentle humidity. Brød & Taylor calibrates humid proofing from approximately 70–95°F for open containers. For dry fermentation and culturing, the Proofer can be used without water and with covered containers.

For slow cooking, remove the rack so a metal cooking pot sits directly on the aluminum heating plate. A stainless steel pot with a thick, flat base provides the most accurate temperature response. Do not use ceramic crocks for slow cooking because they do not conduct heat efficiently enough for the system.

From Our Founder

"The biggest advantage of a dedicated proofer is repeatability. Instead of adjusting every bake around the temperature of the kitchen, you give the dough the environment you want. The accessory shelf makes this version particularly useful when you are proofing several loaves or pans together."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
