Raising Yeast Bread

You need to raise your bread, but you don't really have a warm spot that you can use right now. Here is a tip for people who have a cooking stone.

While you are making your bread, preheat your oven to 350. When you have your bread ready to rise, turn off your oven and remove the stone. Place the stone on a rack or a pad and cover with a thick towel.

Now place your pan of bread onto the stone and let rise as normal. The heat from the stone will continue to radiate to rise your bread.
