1. 1

   re: proofing bread in the microwave:another great way is to use the dishwasher! Run the empty (soapless) dishwasher on the rinse cycle. Open the door briefly to release the really hot steam. Place the plastic covered dough in the top or bottom - wherever it fits best. You should do this for the final rise only since it's really too fast to develop a first rise enough to have good flavor and texture.
