Tip #2
Placing the dough in a warm, draft-free place is essential for the rising process. Ideal rising temperatures are 80°F to 90°F. You can create heat by, filling a bowl with very hot water and placing a plate over it. Place bowl of dough on plate, draping a towel over dough and bowl to keep heat in. Or, set bowl of dough on top of a heating pad set to low or medium temperature.
