"Newbie" with an odd question?

Hi all! I'm reintroducing myself to bread making. I used to bake bread all the time with my grandma and in my younger year . Its probably been about 10 years though since I've made real homemade bread. 

So my question is this: how do you keep your bread dough from over rising while waiting for your current loaf to finish and cool. My issue at the moment is I only have one bread pa . I've been slowly gathering my tools together and dont ask me why I only bought one pan but I did. Lol. I'll be adding more pans asap but I am wondering if I can go ahead and start with just the one I have. 

From what I've read and remember you want to be careful to not let the dough rise too much on the second rise. Is there a way to slow or halt the rise on any dough you aren't ready to bake immediately. 

Thanks so much for any advice anyone can provide. Very excited to get back into it and have this reconnection with my grandma. I'll also be attempting to start my own friendship bread starter and I've seen tons of posts on here regarding those. I wish I still had the one my grandma and I raised but starting a new one is the best I can do.
