| Hi From Talent OR. I keep my home cool around 65 in winter but my oven has a bread proof that stays at 97 - is that too high for wild yeasts? I do have an upstairs office that can stay 70 and warmer. Trying not to buy expensive machine for countertop. Thanks! |

Hi Charlotte,
Probably 65 is too cold. The oven may be good for bake day proofing - not for the whole week. I think the office solution is good, try setting the temperature for 72.
Good luck,

| Hi Charlotte, 65 degrees will be a bit too cold for your mother. If you're able to keep it in your upstairs office where it's at least 70 degrees, that is preferable. |

I have the same concern as Charlotte. I live in Gig Harbor and our main floor where the kitchen is stays around 60 to 65 almost year round, but we do have a loft with a wet bar that is warmer.
Does the mother have to be on the counter or can it be in a proofer?
Thanks,
Ralph |

| Your mother can absolutely be kept in a proofer, especially if you're concerned about cooler room temperatures. |
