and another:

Your microwave is also a good proofing chamber. NOTE: MICROWAVE THE WATER
ONLY, NEVER THE DOUGH!

Check your bowl and pans in your microwave -- for fit -- before you begin.
I can generally fit the mixing bowl in there, but some of my pans are too
big for the microwave. (Seems I need a bigger microwave!)

Place a Pyrex (microwave-safe thick glass) measuring cup with 1 cup of water
into your microwave. Microwave on High for one minute (adjust for your oven
power.) Leave the measuring cup in the microwave.

Prepare your dough to the first rise stage. Microwave the water for another
30 seconds.

Place your covered dough in the microwave & shut the door. Leave the door
shut for the recommended rising time. YOu can look through the window & see
how tall your dough is!

Take your dough out for punch down & shaping. Microwave the water for
another minute -- you may need to add some water.

If your pans fit, return the shaped dough to the microwave for second
rising.
