To Prove /tə pruːv/

During this process, yeast consumes sugars and produces carbon dioxide, which makes the dough expand.
Proving helps develop the texture and flavor of the bread.
Most dough needs to prove in a warm place for about one hour before baking.
Bakers often cover the dough with a cloth to keep it warm and moist during proving.
Successfully proving the dough is essential for creating light and fluffy bread.

发酵是在面包制作中一个重要的步骤，可以使面团发酵。
在这个过程中，酵母消耗糖类并产生二氧化碳，使面团膨胀。
发酵有助于面包的质地和风味的形成。
大多数面团在烘焙前需要在温暖的地方发酵约一个小时。
面包师通常用布覆盖面团，以在发酵过程中保持温暖和潮湿。
成功发酵面团对制作轻盈松软的面包至关重要。

注意：美式用 "to proof"（读作/pruːf/，与"proof"同音），英式用 "to prove"（读作/pruːv/，尾音/v/），两者均指 面团发酵过程，专业烘焙中可互换，但美式更倾向用名词"proofing"（发酵阶段），英式则保留动词"proving"的传统用法。
