Notes
To help your dough rise better turn your oven to 150 degrees F. and as soon as it reaches temperature, turn off the oven and place your bowl of dough covered with a cotton towel in the oven. Close the oven door and let the dough rise. The nice warm environment of the oven will do the trick and your dough will rise fairly quickly.
