water in microwave oven. Place bowl of dough on
Convection Rack and close door.

3. Touch TEMP/POWER “down” arrow pad until 100ºF (38ºC) is
reached.
4. Touch MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to set desired proofing
time.
5. Touch START/ENTER.
Check dough after 20 to 25 minutes. Let dough rise until
nearly doubled in size. Proofing time may vary depending on
the type and quantity of dough.
6. When proofing is done, remove bowl of bread dough and
water container.
Second Proofing:
Shape dough and place in ovenproof pan(s). Cover loosely with
plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray. Place microwave-safe
container filled with 2 cups (500 mL) boiling water in microwave
oven. Place bread pan(s) on Convection Rack and close door.
Follow steps 2 through 5 outlined in “First Proofing.” When
