Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

Before we can shape a great loaf of bread, we need to mix and ferment a great bowl of dough. This first proof (also known as bulk proof) is the most important step in bread baking – and, the most difficult.
Unfortunately, developing the eye and timing for a well fermented, “proofed” dough can take months (if not years) for us home bakers.
How can we all ferment our bread dough just right, every time…so we can start baking more confidently today?
The problem is not your dough, it’s your kitchen. Kitchen temperatures are often too cold for bread dough, and more importantly, always changing – making it difficult to know what kind of schedule your dough is on.
So, all you need to do is warm up your bread dough by about 5-10°F (3-6°C) and keep it there. DoughBed is designed to do exactly that.
DoughBed combines a warming mat, a glass dough bowl, and a cork lid to create an efficient warming solution. The dough bowl has a wide bottom so your dough is gently and evenly warmed to 75-82°F (24-28°C) by the mat below.
The bowl is transparent, so you can keep your dough in sight while maintaining the perfect temp.
Don’t hide away your proofing set-up where you might loose track of your dough’s progress. We become better bakers when we can see our dough bubble and rise!
Baking bread becomes much easier when you use temperature as an ingredient. By keeping your dough at the same temperature every time you bake, you set yourself up for repeated baking success.
And it works wether you bake with sourdough or commercial yeast!
With DoughBed, you can count on having a great loaf of bread ready to serve on your schedule.
As of May 9th, this project has raised $195,000 of their $25,000 goal. This project has 22 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $165, you will get one DoughBed. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sourhouse/doughbed-by-sourhouse?
