Etymology

The word 'proofed' derives from the Middle English 'proven,' which comes from the Old French 'prover,' and ultimately from the Latin 'probare,' meaning 'to test or approve.' The application of the term in baking specifically relates to the process of yeast fermentation, where dough is allowed to rise. This process is essential in creating the desired texture and volume in baked goods. The broader meanings, involving the verification or validation of documents, have also evolved over time, influenced by the printing practices in the publishing industry. The use of 'proof' in various contexts shows the adaptability of the term throughout history.
