Tip for faster dough rising This is just a tip I wanted to pass along (may be old news to some). To speed up the 1st rising of your bread dough, you can use the microwave. Put your dough in a large microwave-safe, greased bowl. Cover the bowl. Then microwave for 3 minutes at 10% power (or whatever your lowest energy level is called). Then let the dough rest for 1 minute, and repeat. I usually only go through 3 or 4 cycles of this before the dough is doubled in size. Then just punch down and proceed with shaping the dough.
