Hello there,

I'm new to this website and I'd like to learn more about baking my own loaves of bread. I have a very fixable problem when I bake my own bread at home. The problem is that each time I bake a new loaf of say sandwich bread the loaf is too tiny. The bread is often too hard on its crust. Often I find the taste of the bread is too strong after being left out too long. I want to maximize the time it takes to make such a simple bread by making a proofer. I find bread baking to be very frustrating when making a recipe by following it letter to letter. My mom thinks I need to leave a light on in the oven to let it rise. I'm thinking I need to make a proofer at home using professional advice.

    You can create a proof box by boiling a pot of water and sticking it in an unheated oven with your dough. Works very well! learned from my baking instructor. ;):D
