Notes
Proving your dough
If your kitchen is cold, there are a number of ways to prove your dough.
1. Place a mug half filled with water into the microwave. Heat 4 minutes on high. Remove and place dough in microwave to use residual warmth.
2. It it's a sunny day and your car is outside, pop the dough in the car.
I sometimes make 6 small rolls and use the remaining dough to make scrolls.
