Can i refrigerate bread doughs twice before baking?
Can i refrigerate dough twice? Such that after kneading i will refrigerate the dough overnight. Then after forming i will cold proof it. Will there be any deterrents?
Best Answer
You can knead dough multiple times and let it rest in the refrigerator between. I do this to make a bread with a less tough crust and finer crumb.
Keep it covered and don't let it sit too long as described in How long can I keep bread dough in the refrigerator?

Quick Answer about "Can i refrigerate bread doughs twice before baking?"
Most bread recipes have two rises, a first rise (also called bulk fermentation), and a second or final rise. You can chill your dough during either the first or second rise. Your yeast won't give you much love if it's asked to do both rises in the fridge, so it's best to do one or the other at room temperature.Can you refrigerate bread dough and bake later?
Yes, you can refrigerate bread dough, and in fact you will probably find that it will give you better, tastier results, because the yeast has more time to do its work. Any bread baker worth his salt (flour?) will tell you that a slow, cold rise is better than a fast, warm one.How long can you refrigerate bread dough before baking?
To be more precise, you can leave it for as long as three days in your fridge and it will still be safe to use. However, just remember that if you want the best possible results, you should use your dough within 48 hours.Can you refrigerate dough after proofing?
Yes, risen dough CAN be placed in a refrigerator. Putting risen dough in the fridge is a common practice of home and professional bakers alike. Since yeast is more active when it's warm, putting yeasted dough in a refrigerator or chilling it slows the yeast's activity, which causes dough to rise at a slower rate.How long can you leave risen dough before baking?
The maximum amount of time dough can sit out the fridge for is four hours for yeast made bread, six for sourdough. Temperature, the characteristics of the sugars in the flour, amount of yeast and the humidity of the room alter the length of the rise.Refrigerator Bread Dough: knead Today Bake Tomorrow.
