yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper coated with shortening. Place on

same placement, broiler pan and water and control steps above.
Before baking, remove plastic wrap.
Temperature Probe
(single and upper ovens only)
The temperature probe accurately measures the internal
temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and
should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry.
It should not be used during maxi and econo broiling, convection
broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread.
Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven
