Doesn't need to be too complicated, just put the overnight yeast sponge(cover loosely) on top of the water heater with some towels  under the bowl.
Be careful the water boiler is 45C that is too hot for yeast.
For second fermentation ( rising),  put the bowl of dough in the microwave oven along with a cup of hot water on the side, that would provide the
necessary humidity and warmth to  aid the yeast growth

Nah, I just add 20% of pastry flour(soft spring wheat) to bread flour(Hard winter wheat).
Don't forget you are baking it at home. The sour dough levain or Italian Biga is more important.
Same reason for steamed bun, bread dough works best if you would use it constantly, just replenish it with more flour and water
to keep it alive and thrive
