I found many people say between 70-80*F and suggested to put the dough to rise in the oven with only the pilot light on if there's no warm place in the house. I did that. Well I guess I should've known my pilot light was too hot cuz the racks got pretty hot, like I could still Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-82419677739410915322011-06-07T15:38:15.387-07:002011-06-07T15:38:15.387-07:00Jen,

Also, the long time gives it plenty of time to rise. If you want it to go faster, just double the amount of yeast.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-62295162371925689142011-06-07T06:50:41.596-07:002011-06-07T06:50:41.596-07:00I think our apartment is lower than 70*F most of t...I think our apartment is lower than 70*F most of the time. :/ It's only "warm-ish" for a couple hours in the afternoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-26080218368050421992011-06-07T06:47:12.146-07:002011-06-07T06:47:12.146-07:00Good morning, WC :)
