Explanation:

• In baking, "proofing" refers to the process of allowing dough to rise. This is done to let yeast ferment, producing carbon dioxide which causes the dough to expand.
• When measuring dry ingredients, a straight edge is used to level off the ingredients in a measuring cup, ensuring an accurate measurement. A spoon is for stirring or scooping, a spatula for flipping or spreading, and a whisk for mixing.
