*To help the first dough rise, bowl water in a 2 cup measuring cup or container in microwave. This should be close to 4 minutes. Place covered dough into microwave until double in size. The steamy environment provides the needed environment to accelerate rise.
** For the second rise, Preheat oven to 200 degrees, then turn off. Place pan with dough in oven until about double in size. Remove from oven and preheat to recommended temperature.
