"Proofing Through the Seasons: Mastering Bread Fermentation Year-Round"

In the inaugural episode of "Breaking Bread," Rachel Parker takes listeners on a deep-dive into the art and science of bread proofing, focusing on the impact of changing seasons. She educates listeners about the importance of monitoring dough during warmer weather, when fermentation can quicken, and inventively maintaining yeast activity in cooler temperatures. She introduced an innovative device, the Brod & Taylor Proofer, which provides precise temperature control. For low-tech bakers, Rachel provides a DIY solution using an oven and a pan of hot water. She also hints at the complex flavors attainable through slower fermentation in cooler temperatures, particularly in sourdough bread. Rachel invites listeners to explore proofing and baking tips found on the podcast’s website and urges them to share their queries and experiences for potential use in future episodes.
