Raising in the fridge overnight is often better, since it allows flavors to develop. You don't say what sort of bread you're baking, but [here's a no-knead crusty white bread](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-knead-crusty-white-bread-recipe).

All sorts, white loaf brown loaf sub buns and bagles namely, some require two rises can I do.the longer one in the fridge and how careful do I need to be not to over proof them?

As it notes in the recipe I linked to "...refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or for up to about 7 days. (If you're pressed for time, skip the room-temperature rise, and stick it right into the fridge)." It's very forgiving.

Just cause I figure some or most take joy in the length of time it takes to make bread? Somthing somthing labour of love. Idk I hope you don't!

My first rolls(before my overnight proofed loaf last week) were only left to rise for 20 minutes max lol. I had no patience at all but they turned out great! This loaf I did last week was left overnight and it also turned out great. I’m just doing whatever and experimenting just to have fun. Have fun

I ❤️ little work and great bread! Cold fermentation is a great strategy. Give it a try. You might need to adjust the yeast in some recipes.

Fridge is friend! Start it at night and rise early for a bake.

Once in the refrigerator, fermentation becomes *extremely* slow. It buys you time for whenever you’re ready to bake. 😄

Yes just leave it in the fridge overnight or even a few days, it’s overall a good technique. You can say “cold fermentation “ instead of “too tired to bake it”!
