Abstract: The invention comprises a food dehydration and bakery product and bread dough raising appliance for household use. The appliance has a heating element within the dehydration and dough raising chamber and a temperature control unit capable of regulating temperature within both the dough raising and food dehydrating temperature ranges. The appliance, when dehydrating foodstuffs, utilizes a fixed volume, constant speed ventilation system wherein air enters the chamber through presized intake ports, is blown horizontally between the drying racks and exits through exhaust vents defined between a frontal access door and the appliance cabinet. The appliance, when used as a dough raiser, utilizes a dough raising shelf with an attached water trough which is positionable directly above the heating element for raising the relative humidity within the chamber.
