Discover Your DIY Passion

Inspiration

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.

Che Mario Fabbri with the Sahara Dehydrator

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.

Lots of companies talk about innovation. We deliver it. From radical industry-changing knife sharpeners to the revolutionary Sahara folding food dehydrator, we create and deliver products never seen before. If you are already a fan – rejoice – because we’re just getting started.

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. And we didn’t stop there.
