Spanish term or phrase: pluffer
En un texto que habla de la preparación de pan aparece este término en medio del texto en español. Pensé que ya estaba en inglés, pero esa palabra parece no existir. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

"Fermentación de la masa

Todos los productos derivados de la panadería, los cuales tengan levadura deben llegar a un tamaño ideal antes de ser horneados; el tiempo de punto es aproximadamente 4 horas después de su elaboración, cubierto de bolsas plásticas, para no secar la corteza del producto, si se necesita más rápido se puede utilizar el **pluffer**, con una temperatura promedio de xx grados y una humedad de xx%.

agree  Margaret Schroeder: I think you've got it. I was thinking "puffer" and "fluffer" but yours makes much more sense. Justification: By simply confusing the first "R" with "L" and pronouncing "pluffer" like a Spanish-speaker, voila! "pluffer"= "proofer".
