I made the raisin stout loaves but don't have time to complete the project. I allowed them to rise once and formed them into loaves but now I covered them in foil and stuck in the fridge. I will do the second rise and bake later. Does anyone know how long they can wait in the fridge before they get bad? I don't want them dry I mean. Do I have to bake them today or maybe tomorrow night would be ok if they are well wrapped? How should they be wrapped?
P.S. I rose the bread on heating pads in the bathroom sink with the door shut. 1 heating pad on top and one on bottom and I turned the shower on hot from time to time. That was as warm as I could get it. I don't recommend turning the oven on low and then shutting off- that never works for me.

They actually continue to rise even in the fridge. I cover mine with plastic wrap and it takes about 12 hours for my bread to rise. however, it's just flour-water-yeast-salt-sugar. If you've got eggs/fats/more sugar in there, it will take longer to rise because it's heavier. Not sure what bread you are talking about. If you don't want it to rise at ALL, you need to freeze it. I just wrap it well in plastic wrap. But, then you have to thaw it before it can rise. If I throw a frozen loaf of bread dough in a pan and leave it I think it takes 4-6 hours to rise? I don't think I ever thaw it in the fridge and then bake.
If you do end up baking it straight from the fridge, increase the bake time. I never noticed my bread being any drier from leaving it in the fridge, but I did have to bake it longer or it would still not be fully cooked. Ewww.
Wow, you went to a lot of effort to keep that bread warm! Why is that? I have a super-cold kitchen and my bread always rises, it just takes longer is all.
