You can make dough rise in less than half the time in your microwave oven.

Put 3.5 cups of water in a 4 cup glass measuring cup and microwave on HIGH
for about 7 minutes or until it boils.  Then put your dough in the microwave
(in a lightly greased bowl) and zap it at 10% power for 5 minutes.  Let it
sit undisturbed in the oven for 30 minutes.  Repeat if necessary, but it
usually isn't.  I use this all the time for my pizza dough.  I have heard
though, that fast rising changes the texture and flavor of breads, but I 
have never made bread, so I don't know.
