** If you don't have a styrofoam box, cover the bowl, and keep the dough warm until doubled in volume. The 10 minute resting process is called benching and it gives the dough softness and makes it easier to shape the dough. The best temperature range for growing yeasts is from 28 to 32 °C (82-90 °F). If it reaches over 38 °C (100 °F) yeasts don't grow properly and they die out over 60 °C (140 °F).
