Abstract
A dough proofing cabinet includes a chamber having a chamber panel with a plurality of openings distributed thereon. A heating element may be located to the backside of the chamber panel, or elsewhere outside of the chamber. Operation of a blower causes air flow through the chamber panel openings, past the heating element and back to the chamber along at least one air flow path. In one example both upper and lower air flow paths are provided. An intermediate panel with one or more openings may be provided adjacent the chamber panel to create an area that receives air passing through the wall openings.
