This bread prep was so funny and bad. I made the dough at 8:30 pm, did my stretch and folds till 11 pm, left it on the counter overnight, this morning is wasn’t ready to be shaped and fridged so I took it to work with me, let it keep proofing, took it out of the bowl, shaped it, realized it still wasn’t ready, put it back in the bowl and into the oven with the light on, then shaped it, fridge for 90 minutes, put it into my car for an hour long drive back home (I also made 4 stops on the way home), then back into the fridge at home, and then baked it after a couple hours in the fridge. 😂

The prep on that has to be a first! Turned out nicely
What a wild ride! It looks delicious!
The fridge is your friend.
It turned out amazing!!! But if you want an easier prep do a quick shape and just throw it in the fridge if you can’t keep an eye on it while it proofs then take it out of the fridge and it will continue to proof.
