Abstract
A method and an apparatus for the final proofing dough is provided. The apparatus includes a first section and a second section, and a transport device for moving the dough from the first section to the second section. The apparatus is configured to set a dew point inside at least the first section of the apparatus above a predefined temperature of the surface dough before it enters the apparatus. In addition, the apparatus is configured to provide process air into the apparatus. An air speed of process air directly surrounding the dough in the first section is higher than the air speed of process air directly surrounding the dough in the second section.

A method for the final proofing of dough in a proofing device, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing the proofing device that includes a proofing chamber;
- setting a dew point inside the proofing chamber above a temperature of the surface of the dough;
- providing the dough to the proofing chamber;
- subjecting the dough inside the proofing chamber to an active stage, wherein during the active stage process air is applied directly surrounding the dough;
- and
- subjecting the dough inside the proofing chamber to a resting stage subsequent to the active stage,
- wherein an air speed of the process air directly surrounding the dough in the active stage is higher than in the resting stage.
