Getting a Rise Out of Your Dough

Fine. You’ve made the dough. Now where do you put it to rise? Here are some ideas:

 Fill a large pan or bowl with very hot tap water and place it in the bottom of your oven. Do not turn the oven on. Place your dough in a bowl on a rack over the hot water. The water will add both warmth and humidity to the oven and give your yeast dough a perfect environment in which to grow.

 Fill a measuring cup with water and place it in the microwave. Zap until it comes to a boil, then shove it into a corner of the microwave. Put your bowl of dough into the microwave with the cup of water. Same deal — warmth and humidity.

 Cover your dough with plastic wrap (to keep the surface from drying out) and place the bowl on top of your refrigerator (if there’s room). The heat from the fridge motor can often provide a lovely warm spot for dough to rise.
