If I know I'm going to be in a rush on Friday, I'll make the dough Thursday night and do the "first rise" in the fridge. The next morning I put it out on my counter in the morning and do the punch down, braid and second rise, after work. Then I pop it into the oven about 40 minutes before Shabbat and/or when my guests arrive. (bake time varies widely depending on the recipe). Hi Diana,
