Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough processing technology, specifically to a dough fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] When making steamed buns, dumplings, bread, and pastries, flour ingredients need to be mixed with water to form dough, and then the dough is left to ferment. During the fermentation of the dough, the temperature and humidity in the enclosed space will directly affect the fermentation quality of the dough.

[0003] Existing fermentation devices typically place the mixed dough directly into a sealed space for fermentation, resulting in trays of dough filling the entire floor and wasting space during fermentation. Furthermore, the movement of people within the sealed space increases temperature fluctuations, affecting the fermentation quality. Additionally, directly sprinkling water onto the dough during fermentation prevents the surface from fully contacting moisture, further impacting fermentation quality. To address these issues, a new dough fermentation device is needed. Utility Model Content
