How can I have bread all weekend?

I love my fresh sourdough but don't have the extra time on a Sunday to put the loaf together.  Can I make double on Saturday and retard a loaf for 24 hours?  Am I asking likely to be asking too much or is there another way to do it?

Thanks,

Stuart

Stuart,

 

Melanie is correct. You can certainly keep it in an extra day. I personally wouldn't keep dough in the fridge more than three days. Depending on your fridge the dough might start to smell "off." You can, of course store any dough in the freezer for several months. I keep Biga's on hand on this manner.
