How long does it take to rise dough in the refrigerator?
In lieu of a typical 1- to 3-hour rise at room temperature, you'd opt for a long (8- to 12-hour) rise in the refrigerator. This slow refrigerated rise is referred to as "cold fermentation" and has many benefits ranging from flexibility to flavor.

Can I bake dough straight from the fridge?
If it fits better with your day ahead you can leave your dough to ferment at room temperature for an hour or two, then when its risen and full of air, shape it and pop it the fridge to do its second rise as a shaped loaf. You can then preheat the oven and bake the loaf straight from the fridge.
Should you cover dough while rising in fridge?
Covering your dough with a plastic bag will stop it from drying out and delivers great results no matter how your fridge functions.
