Just a correction on your comment "No problemo". If it was supposed to be Spanish, it would be "No hay problema." I use my oven, briefly warmed, light on, to proof my bread. I also put a large pan of very hot tap water on the shelf beside the bread which is covered with a towel. The dough usually rises in about 40 min. the first time, 30 min. the second time & about 30 min. in the pans. When ready to bake I remove the pan of water & towel, place the pans where I want them & turn the oven to 400 degrees. The loaves are done in 20 min.
