Looking for a warm place to raise your yeast-bread dough in winter?
Simply plug in an electric heating pad on the low setting and place it on the kitchen counter. Put the covered bowl of dough on the pad. As the bowl gradually warms, the dough rises nicely. Glass, pottery or metal bowls all will work.
