If you are prepping these rolls ahead, you can cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate them until you are ready to bake.

Can I let rolls rise in the fridge?

Place the rolls on a large, parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the freezer for 3-4 hours. Transfer the frozen rolls to a zip top freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to one month. To bake rolls: place frozen dough balls about 1-inch apart in a lightly greased baking dish.
Can I bake dough straight from the fridge?
Yes, you can bake dough straight from the refrigerator – it does not need to come to room temperature.

Can you make bread dough the day before baking?
It is possible to leave bread dough to rise overnight. This needs to be done in the refrigerator to prevent over-fermentation and doughs with an overnight rise will often have a stronger more yeasty flavour which some people prefer.
Can I prepare bread dough in advance?
The good news is that you absolutely can make bread dough in advance and cook the rolls later on!
Should yeast rolls be refrigerated?
Do not store bread in the refrigerator. Refrigeration pulls moisture from bread, which speeds up the staling process and causes the bread to dry out. For longer storage, freeze the bread. Most yeast breads and rolls freeze well.
How long does it take refrigerated bread dough to come to room temperature?
Once you bring the dough out of the cooler, keep it covered to prevent drying and let it temper at room temperature for upwards of 2½ hours or until the dough ball temperature reaches 50°F.
Should you refrigerate rolls?
We would not recommend storing bread in the refrigerator as this actually makes it go stale faster. The cold temperatures of the refrigerator draw out the moisture in bread and can make it stale up to three times faster, due to a process known as “retrogradation.”
How long does it take refrigerated dough to rise?
Typically, I would give it about three times the normal rising time if refrigerated but you could probably do up to overnight. You can make dough about a day ahead of time and store it in the fridge, if tightly wrapped. Tightly wrapped it will rise a little but not fully rise.
Can you proof dough in the fridge?
Proofing sourdough in the fridge is effective because it allows the dough to rest in its shaping container while developing superior sourdough flavor. Unlike bulk fermentation (which must be done at room temperature), proofing can be done in cold fridge temperatures.
Can I leave dough overnight in room temperature?
For our doughs without eggs, when we’ve occasionally forgotten a batch and left it on the counter overnight, we’ve found that this has little effect on the final result, maybe just shortens the batch life by a day or two.

What happens if you leave dough overnight?
Dough that’s left to rise at room temperature typically takes between two and four hours to double in size. If left overnight, dough can rise so high it will likely collapse on the weight of itself, making the dough deflate. For best results always keep dough in the refrigerator when leaving it to rise overnight.
Can you store yeast dough overnight?
To save the dough for the next day, you should knead it first. Then, take the dough and place it in a lightly oiled mixing bowl. The oil is to prevent it from sticking to the bowl. Finally, cover the top with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Why did my bread dough deflate in the fridge?
When yeast is active in your dough it eats away at starches and sugars and releases gasses. These gasses are then trapped inside your dough by the gluten mesh that has been created. If your gluten mesh is not fully developed it will not be able to supposer those gasses and thus resulting in a flat or collapsed bread.
What happens if you leave dough to rise for too long?
Pizza dough that has been left to rise for too long, or has been over-proofed, can potentially collapse. The gluten becomes overly relaxed, and the end product will be gummy or crumbly instead of crisp and fluffy.
