Assist! My dough is attempting to double in measurement and my bowl is just too small, what do I do?

In case your bowl is just too small to let the dough double in measurement, spray a big sufficient bowl with cooking spray and gently switch the dough out of your stand mixer bowl to that bowl earlier than rising. 

Why is my dough not rising quick sufficient?

The hotter the kitchen, the quicker your dough will rise. If I’m making any yeast dough when it’s the colder months, generally I’ll transfer the dough into a hotter room in my home. In case you don’t have a hotter space, you might preheat the oven on the bottom temperature your oven will go after which flip the oven off and let the dough rise within the oven (the residual warmth from preheating the oven will assist the dough rise).
