Quickie: Dough Warmer

Sometimes your house is too damn cold for the wonderful yeast beasts that make your dough rise.  Don’t let the momentary weather slump get ya down, just add a little heat!  Little’s the key word here, as too much heat may begin to cook the dough and kill off the yeastmonsters.  The next time your pizza dough refuses to rise, threatening you with an evening sans-delicious, try this:

A heating pad and a pair of dumbells, and the dough gets the gentle warming it needs.  Of course, already owning the heating pad makes this little hack a lot more convenient.
