We get so many questions about the proofing boxes.  It amazes us about what people use.  We have heard of aquariums, stove lights, boxes, buckets, old coolers, storage containers.  I guess if it works...use it.  We use a Styrofoam cooler and get great results with it.  We were sent the plans for a collapsible wooden proofing box and thought that we would share it with you.  This may work for you if you have a small amount of storage space.  Please send us your ideas, thoughts, questions, favorite recipes or just a great bread story.  Have a great weekend and happy baking!!!

Top and bottom are not attached; when sides are assembled they stand on top of the bottom using the center as a set of stops for the sides.  Top simply drops into the box made by the sides using its center as a guide.
