I've just put the dough to proof and can't bake now. Help!

I made the Polish Cottage Rye frome DL's Local breads.

I shaped the dough into a boule and put it in the floured banneton but now I have to get out of the house for a few hours.

The dough in the banneton is now in the fridge.

What sould I do when I come home? Let it stand a bit outside and then bake or immediatly bake the round?

Thanks for the advice !

Let the dough warm up a bit

and then bake as usual.  It should be fine and the "retardation" in the fridge may even enhance the flavor.

It will be fine-

Read my blog "The peel and the stone incident". I had to retard my mixed flour miche, which has rye in it, overnight. Normally, you don't retard rye but it will just have a bit more sour taste than normal.

My husband likes it better that way.
