I do my first rise in the oven, with the light switched on --
that keeps it about 80 F. But the second rise is a problem,
since the oven needs to be preheating while the dough rises.
Lately, I have been putting the bread pans on top of an electric
heating pad set on low, with a towel over the pad to keep it clean
and waxed paper over the loaves. Works very well for me.
