Is it "proof" or "prove"?

Not that I intend to criticize, I just want to be precise when I use the term.

According to my internet sleuthing, “prove” is a british term but “proof” is more widely used. I learned about baking through GBBO so I was also confused.

Seems weird to me to use the noun proof as a verb, but not the weirdest twist of english I’ve seen.
