How to get bread dough to rise
Our house is always cold. While I’m walking around with blankets, sweatshirts, and fluffy socks, everyone else is in tees and shorts complaining that it’s too hot. Our temperature is generally set to about 64 degrees. I hope others think this is cold and it’s not just me! There are a few tricks I use to get yeast dough to rise.
Place butter and the egg on the counter to come to room temperature. This takes about an hour. Preheat the oven while you are preparing the dough. We have an electric stove. I put a wire cooling rack on top of it, and then place the dough-covered bowl on top of that. The heat comes through the stove just enough that it doesn’t cook the dough but gently warms the area to help it rise. Wash the bowl you are going to put your dough in with warm water and dry it thoroughly. This way you aren’t putting your dough into a cold bowl. The added warmth will help it to rise.
With our recipe, you will set your dough aside to rise twice. The first time you will roll it into a ball and cover it with plastic wrap in a bowl and leave it for 30-minutes.
The second time, you will break it up into 24 balls of dough, place it into the baking dish, and again cover it with plastic wrap and set it aside for another 30-minutes.
