Bread raising box. I use a plant starter heater under the bowl of dough (80 deg) with a cup of hot water sitting on the side. I covered an appropriately sized box with thick quilted table protector and put a covered window in it to watch the progress. I have used this system for at least 5 years and have had no problem with raising (proofing) the dough. My box holds 2 9x5 pans with room to spare. Hope this helps. Phil Thanks, Phil - so long as you find somewhere to trap moisture and heat, you can raise bread dough in the coldest house. Thanks for sharing your technique here. PJH
