Plug the dough mat into a 120 volt power source, place a thin towel on your countertop, place the dough mat on top of the towel and set your thermostat to a desired temperature. Place your dough in a covered container on the dough mat and let the proofing process begin.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This will vary depending on your environment and the preference on how you proof your dough. We recommend starting at 110 degrees and adjust as needed. For frozen doughs you may want to increase the temperature for a faster rise time. You can use the thermostat to increase\/ decrease the temperature to a heat that works for your dough type.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

On the temperature control you will see three buttons – A power button, a (+) button and a (-) button. Press the power button to turn on and then use the + or – button to adjust the temperature. The \u201cset temp\u201d will be the temperature you set your dough mat to and the \u201creal temp\u201d will show you the actual temperature of the dough mat.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The dough mat is safe to put on all countertops. We do recommend putting a thin towel under the dough mat. This helps maintain a\u00a0 controlled temperature level for your dough to have an optimal environment to rise.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, covering the dough during the rising process is important to retain moisture and maintain an optimal heat level without drying the dough out. You can cover with a thin towel or plastic wrap. The dough can stick to plastic wrap if it rises to the top of the container, use cooking
spray or oil on the underside of the plastic wrap to help avoid this. Always refer to your recipe for specific instructions.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our dough mats are designed to work with all types of containers for your dough. If using plastic make sure it is heat resistant and designed for food use.
