- 2). Place the dough (in its bowl) in the oven or microwave along with the hot water. Leave it to rise.
- 3). If the dough still doesn't rise, add more yeast. Mix yeast from a new package with 1/4 cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) warm water and 1/2 tsp. sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foam forms, to be sure the yeast is active.
- 4). Knead the yeast mixture into the dough.
