to do a first rise ON or even for a full 24 hours.<<

I let it rise about 2 hours the fisrt time and about 45 minutes the second
time.

On the question of ON rising -- will it stop rising at a certain point if left
unattended? I usually let my bread rise in the oven with only the pilot light
going -- will this work for ON, or should I leave the bread rising on the
counter?

I'm a little paranoid about leaving things unattened -- comes from having a
chemist for a father and also from having candy take over the stovetop -- more
than once.

Thanks!
