+It is winter time. We live on the third and top floor of an apartment complex, top of the thermal strata. My downstairs neighbor's gas heater, 250 W of plant lights, a server rack of computer equipment (which I have made some effort to make energy effecient for summertime), and various other, now 100% effecient heat-making household electrical appliances are all that is needed to heat our apartment, even at sustained temperatures as low as ~20°F. 
+
+This is the perfect time to batch-par-bake a few pizza crusts. No waste heat!
+
+We made the dough on Saturday night, cold ferment in the fridge overnight in little pizza dough proofing pans. A half size sheet pan would not fit. I moved them to a parchment-lined half size sheet pan to come up to room temperature.
