I live in the south, and sometimes have problems too, but I am a crockpot nut, and you can put your dough in a pan or bowl and put in in a large oval type crockpot, put a towel over top then lid on, cook on low for 2-3 hrs. Frozen bread dough works like a charm! Got this idea out of a Gooseberry Patch Cookbook, use it all the time!

Usually this works well B. Louise has a good idea. I'll try that next time I make bread. |
Plug your sink and run hot water and set the bowl in it. Place a couple towels over making sure they don't get wet.
OR Warm(not hot) oven for a min. or two then shut off. Put the lid on bowl and set inside. |

I would appreciate any other suggestions you have. Thank you. Esther |
This is what I do also :)

I have a convection oven that has a special "dough rising" setting that warms the oven to 100 degrees...my bread/rolls/pizza crust comes out perfect every time!
|
I just made 2 loaves - the first rising was fine, the second rising in the loaf pans was pitiful. The frustrating thing is, I had this same problem last year, posted on a forum somewhere and got a good solution, now I can't remember the solution or the forum I got it from!! I think it had something to do with water.

I have a small space heater. I placed it and my bread in my sewing room and shut the door. It rose nicely in the alotted time.
