    Innisfree gave this wonderful suggestion for rising bread and it WORKS!

12. 12

    In microwave, heat up 1 cup of water to boiling and let it boil for about a minute. Carefully remove cup of boiling water and place bowl of dough in the microwave. No need to cover dough as the microwave stays moist like a proofing box.

    I leave the cup of water in the microwave and place my loaves in the microwave and in no time you have it ready for the oven.
