Hi Kelvin, as PJ said, the sweet spot for yeast fermentation is 75°F to 78°F. If you've gone through the trouble of calculating the DDT, it's to your benefit to try to keep the environment during the bulk rise in the same range. Often times placing the dough in the oven with the bulb on is sufficient to do this.
