About Us
Brød & Taylor began with a gift. Our founder, Michael Taylor, built the first folding proofer to help his mother-in-law bake bread in her chilly South Dakota kitchen, where her dough wouldn’t rise reliably. It worked so well, her friends began requesting their own.
What started as a homemade solution from a small town in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts quickly grew into something bigger. Today, Brod & Taylor supports bakers everywhere with high-quality products that transform baking challenges into simple pleasures.
About Us
Brød & Taylor was founded on a passion for making wholesome food from scratch. Our products and recipes aim to transform this often challenging process into a simple pleasure. We strive to create products that blend innovative design with simplicity and affordability.
Our first product, the folding proofer, was a novel home-made gift from Brod & Taylor’s founder, Michael Taylor, to his elderly mother-in-law. She needed a reliable way to rise bread in her small – often cold – South Dakota kitchen. Requests from other bakers soon followed. So began his quest to develop a proofer that could be built for everyone. And of course, it had to fold for easy storage. A seemingly endless process of designs, prototypes and tests finally led to the first Folding Proofers hitting the market in 2012.
From the early days of “what the heck is that?” the Folding Proofer is now beloved by countless bakers who sing its praises. And not just for bread. Accurate temperature control for culturing, fermentation and slow-cooking make this versatile appliance a true workhorse in creative kitchens around the globe.
