Stilllearning Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 As a fairly regular bread maker, it has always been slightly problematic to find a good place to prove the dough at a steady warm temperature. Not having an airing cupboard, nor, at least at the moment, a solid fuel stove with warming corner, I have been looking around for a good place to raise the dough. Finally, last week, I found what appears to be the perfect place, and as others might have similar problems, here is my suggested place, on top of the house WiFi router. Warm at a steady temperature 24/7, and best of all, it will be the same in summer or winter. Anyone else have good places to prove dough? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree monkey Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 The bedroom, warm enough for a slow rise but not too warm. It seems to work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen-in-Wellies Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 My boat has an airing cupboard space above the cauliflower, next to the stove. Excellent for letting bread rise. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicknorman Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I tend to prove in the oven - having had the oven on low for a short while previously, then turned off. On top of the house WiFi router? Well I suppose it is probably alright but aren't you restricting the ventilation for the router and thus risking it over heating?

The manufacturer thoughtfully put the air intake on the left hand side of the box, and the exhaust on the right. This box is supplied by Free Telecom, the old one was from Orange, and did have the vent on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in place next to the stove with the heights set up for gravity circulation. The airing cupboard was built around it. The airing cupboard was built in such a way that it was still possible to remove the cauliflower. This came in handy some years later!
