Can I use the stovetop while a dough is leavening in the oven?

I usually use my (turned off) oven as a safe place for leavening doughs for hours. I always get amazing results and never had any issue with that.
But... what if I need to use the stovetop? Will the oven heat up and ruin my dough? Or the temperature change will be imperceptible, having no effect on the dough?
Best Answer
Do you have a thermometer? Place it in your oven. Check temp. Turn on your burners/use stove for a bit. Check temp. You will then know for sure.

Can I bake bread on top of stove?
Any type of bread can be baked on the stove top but if you are new to bread making I recommend starting with an easy and forgiving recipe; standard white bread. Considering how few ingredients are in bread (flour, water, sugar, yeast and salt) it is amazing how many different techniques there are for making it.Can you let bread rise in a warm oven?
The best place to let dough rise is a very warm place. On a warm day, your counter will probably do just fine. But if your kitchen is cold, your oven is actually a great place. Preheat oven to 200 degrees for 1-2 minutes to get it nice and toasty, then turn it off.How do you keep dough warm when rising?
You can set a heating pad on low, layer a dishtowel on top and then set down your bowl or pan of dough. This will give your bread some extra warmth. We recommend covering your dough with a tea towel or reusable wrap to keep the outside from drying out.What temp does bread rise?
Temperature matters Conversely, dough that rises too quickly produces bread with flat flavor. Nail the sweet spot \u2014 warm enough to rise at a decent rate, yet cool enough to develop flavor \u2014 and you're golden. Studies have shown that the optimum temperature for yeast to grow and flavor to develop is 75\xb0F to 78\xb0F.How to Make Fresh \u0026 Easy, Unleavened Bread for Passover [Simple \u0026 Delicious Recipe]
