Why Does Your Oven Have A 'Proof' Setting?

For example, the proof or "bread proof" setting is one you've possibly found yourself curious about, especially if you're not much of a baker (or have never watched "The Great British Baking Show"). This setting is meant to aid bakers by giving them a warm and safe place to proof dough before baking, allowing yeast to do its thing and let the dough rise. Every proof setting is a little different. Even if your home is warm enough to proof dough anywhere in your kitchen, having an oven setting comes in handy. If your oven has a humidity setting, you can just set your dough inside its proofing container, put it in the oven, and you're good to go.
