when i make rolls i put the trays on top of my central heating boiler
(even though the heater is off ,the water heater part gives off a nice
warm heat)Other than that i place on the worktop and cover with a
clean towel and it rises fine. I once remember putting about six trays
and tins of bread to rise on top of the car roof one really hot sunny
day. whilst this was "normal" for me my neighbour thought i was mad -
then she got to know me and realised she was right.!
