A cold kitchen is why the loaf came out flat.
Recipes assume a warm kitchen. Most homes sit a few degrees under that, so dough rises slowly, the timings drift, and the loaf comes out dense.
The schedule shows you how to plan around a cool kitchen. The Proofer just takes the cool kitchen out of the picture.
Rule of thumb for a typical sourdough bulk rise. Demo numbers, your starter will vary.
What the schedule walks you through.
Every step has a time, a target and a sign you can see, so you know when the dough is ready instead of guessing.
- Day 1, 9 am
Feed the starter
The ratio, and what "doubled" really looks like.
- Day 1, 1 pm
Mix and rest
Ten minutes of work, then hands off for a while.
- Day 1, afternoon
Four sets of folds
Spaced so you can fit them around a work call.
- Day 1, evening
Shape, then the fridge
An overnight rest builds flavour while you sleep.
- Day 2, morning
Score and bake
Oven temps, timings and the tap test for done.
Notes from the test kitchen.
Sample notes, written to show the layout. A real launch uses real tester quotes.
My flat in winter sits at about sixty five. First loaf with the schedule that actually had an ear on it.
I did the folds between meetings, exactly like it says. Loaf was out of the oven before the kids woke up.
The Proofer box made the timings boring in the best way. Same rise every single weekend.
Before you sign up.
Is the schedule really free?
Yes. You get the printable whether or not you ever buy anything. There is a small starter kit offer on the next page, and you can skip it in one click.
Do I need the Proofer to use it?
No. The schedule has timings for a counter rise too. The Proofer just makes those timings the same every time.
What is the Proofer, exactly?
A countertop box with a clear lid that holds dough at a steady warm temperature, from 70 to 85°F. It folds flat into a drawer when you are done.
