Häussler Master Stone Oven

The Brod & Taylor Dough Proofer makes wholesome, made-from-scratch baking easier than ever with an optimum proofing environment plus easy storage. Set it lower for a longer “cool rise” or turn up the heat to give your yeast a boost on a cold winter day. A large window gives you a full view of the spacious interior where your largest bowl or full sized loaves fit easily. There’s no need to cover your dough as the included water tray keeps humidity at an optimum level.

The innovative Brod and Taylor folding bread proofer accurately maintains the temperature you set, in the range of 70–195°F (21–90C), in five degree increments. Its cabinet is built of super tough reinforced polypropylene with a clear viewing window. The stainless steel wire rack, power cord and all other parts fit inside the proofer when folded. Inside dimensions are 14.75” x 12.5” x 8.75” high. Outside dimensions are (open): 18” x 14.5” x 10.5” high and (closed): 18” x 14.5” x 2.75” high, so it stores very easily.

Included with the Brod and Taylor Bread Proofer & Slow Cooker is a 55-page booklet with recipes for yeast breads, sourdough, yogurt, butter, cheese, kefir, kombucha, tempeh, and slow-cooker recipes like chuck roast, pulled pork and caramelized "black" garlic.

Pizza dough... artisan sourdough... yogurt... the Brod and Taylor dough proofing box provides a warm, humid environment for more consistent results with rising yeast dough recipes. These include organic whole grain recipes, made-from-scratch bread loaves, pastries, gluten-free yeast bread recipes, soft pretzels, doughnuts, focaccia, cinnamon rolls, and croissants, to name a few. The Brød and Taylor bread proofer is also the ultimate yogurt maker, developing perfect yogurt in either one large, or several smaller containers. Nothing's easier than making delicious yogurt at home with this machine.

In addition to its outstanding core performance as a dough proofer, this versatile Brod and Taylor product is also a slow cooker, yogurt maker, hot plate and more!

Brod and Taylor's innovative bread proofing box is a multi-use kitchen tool ideal for home bread bakers—or anyone with an appreciation for scratch recipes, organic cooking and wholesome ingredients. Designed as the ultimate solution for rising yeast dough, the proofer’s consistent low-heat also works as a yogurt maker, chocolate tempering machine, bread crisper, plate warmer and more.

When your bread's been finished, your Brod and Taylor proofer is the ideal bread warmer, keeping it at perfect serving temperature. One elegant, easy-storing appliance does it all, conveniently and efficiently. It’s a great new tool for any kitchen where homemade baking is enjoyed, and it has really taken off among our customers at Pleasant Hill Grain.

The Brod and Taylor bread proofer now has a slow cooker mode! In slow cooker mode, temperatures may be set between 85–195°F (29–90C), in five degree increments. For slow cooking recipes that recommend a low setting in traditional slow cookers, set the temperature to the maximum setting of 195°F. Always use a lid on the pot when slow cooking. The rack and water tray are not used when slow cooking. For best results, use a heavy duty Dutch oven or stock pot with a tight fitting lid. Maximum dimensions for a slow cooker pot are 11.5" diameter and 8.75" high, including handles and lid.

One of the things we like most about the Brod and Taylor bread proofer is the toughness of its construction. Between the details of the design and the quality of its materials, our experience—after an extended period of offering this product—is that breakage is a non-issue. It assembles very quickly, feels solid, and truly is a rugged, reliable performer. We've used one in the PHG test kitchen for years and endorse it enthusiastically.

Michael Taylor, an engineer and longtime bread baker, is well acquainted with the homespun solutions bakers have tried in search of a more controlled dough rise. An inventor at heart, Taylor saw a real problem that needed a remedy. Home bakers needed a tool that offered the confidence and convenience of a professional proofer in an affordable, versatile, space-saving design. After years of careful research and testing he created the world’s first folding home proofer, and it's truly an outstanding product.

Cook's Illustrated recommends the Brod and Taylor folding proofer, finding that it performs well and is easy to use and clean.

Use the Häussler bread stencils to create attractive designs in your bread rolls and buns. Dough stencils are made of tinned steel and have a sturdy handle. Enjoy the unique look the Haussler dough stencils give your bread!

To use, form dough into smooth 2.5-4 ounce balls. Dip dough stencil in flour or melted butter, then press firmly into dough and remove. Cover dough and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 15-20 minutes. Bake until internal bread temperature reaches 200° F, about 20 minutes.

To give your bread a stenciled look, brush dough with an egg wash, milk or melted butter, then sprinkle on poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or other seed before pressing the dough stencil in, removing it, and then proofing the rolls.

If you want to achieve a fairly flat design on top, proof the dough upside down after you press the stencil in. Just before baking, turn the dough right side up again. If you'd like to use your stencil more like a lame, leave the dough right side up to proof and the dough will expand around the pressed design.

The Star stencil is great for making Austrian Kaiser rolls, and the Swirl stencil makes beautiful Mexican Conchas.
