A suggestion to you would be to turn your electric oven on to its lowest temperature(180-200F), when it gets to temperature shut it off and wait one hour. The temperature by then should be about right for bread making. A pan of water in the oven would also help keep the bread from drying out while rising. good luck, Harvey S.Trop mhuxt!hstrop
