Stop guessing your dough process and lock in with a smart retarder-prover. In the next few hundred words you’ll find out how to master the fermentation process with one piece of equipment.
So what are retarder provers and why will your dough improve using one? Retarders-provers are the the ying-yang of the dough fermentation process, they harness temperature and humidity to help you achieve the best dough possible. We are seeing more and more chefs utilising this process that will do lots for your kitchen and workflow, but most importantly these three things: consistent and precise dough quality, improved digestibility of the dough and waste reduction.

By controlling the temperature inside a retarder-prover, you are able to slow down the yeast activity, and then speed up fermentation, all whilst programming the ideal humidity. As you are able to precisely control the dough process over night, you are able to reduce labour time without having to sacrifice the quality of your dough. This could also mean the staff that are not “dough pros” could produce amazing results.
Let’s check out some of our retarder-provers:
