Proof yeast dough

Place the dough in a very large bowl and cover with plastic. Place an 8-ounce cup of water (with a little bit of salt) in the back of the microwave with the bowl of dough in the center, and set the power as low as possible (10 percent power). Heat for 3 minutes, then let the dough rest in the microwave for 3 minutes. Heat for 3 minutes longer, and then let rest for 6 minutes. The dough will double in bulk.
