perfect temperature for dough to rise
Water Temperature. The temperature of the water or liquid that your dough is mixed with will affect the temperature of your dough and proofing. Ideally, dough temperature should be close to the temperature you would like to rise your bread at. For instance, an overnight pre-ferment that will rise at 70 Â°F / 21 Â°C should be mixed with water that is close to 70 Â°F / 21 Â°C. And a dough that will be proofed at 85 Â°F / 30 Â°C should be mixed with warmer water.
