Have you considered the by products of the candle flame on your dough? I have no idea if that would be a problem or not but I would ask Ron first. I know some candle wicks awhile back were releasing something toxic, but not sure what. I think I would warm my oven a little with some pans of hot water and shut it off.

I don’t want to cause trouble, I just worry a lot!

Thanks, Seq, I had not heard of anything like that, I'll look into it. I cover the dough with plastic and a tea towel so hopefully that would protect it? And the yogurt is in covered half-pint jars so should also be safe, I would think. Keep in mind that I foolishly smoked cigs for 17 years so the damage a candle might do for an hour in my oven is probably negligible in comparison.

Whoa, I want some of that "scratch!" What's your secret?

Most candles are made from petroleum oil so I would stary away from them. Soy candles and bees wax candles are much better.

Okay, I'll look for better candles. Thanks, guys.
