“I stole yeast from the local bakery. They can’t prove a thing”

“Proofing” is a step in the preparation of yeast bread. There are several puns about this process.

Wikipedia: Proofing (baking technique)
In cooking, proofing (also called proving) is a step in the preparation of yeast bread and other baked goods in which the dough is allowed to rest and rise a final time before baking. During this rest period, yeast ferments the dough and produces gases, thereby leavening the dough.
