Default Problem: Bread not rising in the oven

Develop? Dough rises fine at room temperature if drying is avoided,
faster if warmer. Maybe developing, by you, means intermittent
kneadings/stretchings/foldings/whatever. Anyway, by me, the dough
should be risen by baking time. See, for instance:

Probably not. It sounds like you may be going for rye bread. For
that, you need to be extremely smart. I can only offer simpleminded
advice. Maybe you should commune with a guru like Samartha
AKA Sam: http://samartha.net/SD/ (Maybe you should trade your
"hot bath" system for some temperature-controlled fish tanks?)
