Why use a dough proofer?
A proofer, also called a prover or proving cabinet, gives dough the warmth and humidity it needs to rise evenly before it goes into the oven. A retarder proofer can also chill dough to slow proving, so you can prepare dough the day before and bake fresh in the morning.
The range
- Single door 16 trays proofer (Hongling): 16 trays of 600 × 400 mm, 20–60 °C and 80–90% humidity, 2.35 kW. 500 × 770 × 1980 mm, 55 kg.
- Retarder proofer RP-2X (Ark Pro): 304 stainless steel, chills dough at 0–5 °C for retarding, and takes 16 × 24 in trays.

Pair your proofer with a deck, rotary or convection oven.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a proofer and a retarder proofer?
A proofer only warms and humidifies dough so it rises. A retarder proofer can also chill dough to slow or pause proving, then switch to proving mode later, so you can schedule your bake.
What temperature and humidity does a proofer run at?
The Hongling 16-tray proofer runs at 20–60 °C and 80–90% humidity. The RP-2X retarder chills to 0–5 °C.
Is a 16 tray prover the same as a proofer?
Yes. “Prover” and “proofer” are two names for the same cabinet. The Hongling single door model holds 16 trays.
