Default Bulk Proof Temp

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After following as closely as possible (still no scale yet, but one on
the
way, I gave in after this venture) the recipe for vermont sourdough in Mr
Hamelmans book, I was very very happy with the results. I took care to try
to duplicate fractional volume measures and proof temps as closly as
possible. Ok, now I am hooked on the minutia.

Now I would still really like to be able to use my oven proof option on
my
jennair oven, which I guess is for yeast bread, the lowest temp is around
100 degrees (I checked with an instant read thermometer). Hamelman
suggests
a bulk proof dough temp goal of 76 degrees for 2.5 hours, I got it close
by
taking the dough bowl back and forth down the basement to the furnace room
between stretch and folds. This I followed with a fridge retard as in the
book. Does anyone have this type electric oven that has accomplished an
oven proof temp adjustment of any kind? Or some kind of work around?
