Can yeast dough stay in the fridge overnight?

Yes, yeast dough can be stored in a refrigerator overnight. When refrigerating yeast dough, cover the dough tightly to prevent it from drying out. It has to stay in the coldest part of the fridge, as yeast will continue to rise slowly in the cold. When you are ready to use the dough, let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking. It is important to note that yeast dough that is refrigerated may take slightly longer to rise when baking.
