My kitchen in Denver was way too cold for my dough to rise properly

Last month I tried making a basic white loaf and after 2 hours the dough hadn't budged. I realized my apartment was only 65 degrees. I put the bowl on a heating pad set to low, covered it with a towel, and it doubled in size in about an hour. Has anyone else found a good trick for proofing in a cold house?

Oh man, that's a whole mood. @oliver_torres4 has the right idea with the oven light, it's all about finding those little warm spots. Feels like half of cooking is just fighting your own house.

Try turning your oven light on.
