If you are looking to speed up the rising time of your bread dough, there are a few tricks you can try. First, using warm water (around 100°F/38°C) when activating the yeast will help it to activate more quickly. You can also create a warm, humid environment for the dough by placing it in a lightly warm oven with a bowl of hot water. Just make sure the temperature does not exceed what is recommended for yeast activation.
