A few.
For a quick rise: when you start the yeast to bloom , turn your oven on to the lowest setting.
When yeast is bloomed , turn oven off.
After placing the dough into the bowl , cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in the warm oven.
It took mine 1 hour to double.
Do the same thing after punching down and shaping the dough.
Make sure to really oil the pans well , including the lip of the pans , or they will stick.
