Thank you for responding. I'll take your advice and follow your recommendation. It does beg the question though, "what is the proof setting for"?
Does it have a Proof setting? It didn't when it came out.
Mine is an original, and although I usually set it up using the app, I don't pay any attenntion to the other things the app does, so I may be unaware that it has a button for "Proofing" now.
People have insatiable desires to do certain things. Storing garlic-infused oil at room temp is one. Asuming that a steam oven is better for proofing than just covering your bowl with Saran wrap or a moist towel is another. Manufacturers like to keep people happy.
If anything, since virtually all recipes out there tell you to cover and put at room temp or a warm place, and adding steam to the mix actually changes the proofing temp (physics), using a steam oven actually causes you to do something different than the recipe you are following says to do. Probably not a huge deal, unless the oven can't maintain the temp you want and you end up with over-proofed dough.
