The best place to let dough rise
The best place to let dough rise is a very warm place. On a warm day, your counter will probably do just fine. But if your kitchen is cold, your oven is actually a great place.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees for 1-2 minutes to get it nice and toasty, then turn it off. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap, then put it inside the oven and let rise until doubled (about 45-60 minutes).
I have read that putting the oven light on (and leaving it on) is a good method. Is this true?
Yes I have heard of others doing this too! It’s not a method I’ve tried myself, but definitely an option.
Remember to put a note on oven not to use,I was letting doe rise in a plastic container,went outside,one of the kids started preheating the oven for a pizza, damm near burnt the house down. Yeah i should have known better to not use plastic
What if you boil a cup of water in the microwave. Take it out and put the dough in there covered with plastic
Sure, that’s a great suggestion too!
