I am a newly renewed baker a few decades after learning and doing a lot with Grandma. I made an error and wondered if there is a save and a better way. I let the bread machine do the kneading and the buns rose too much overnight. I expect them to fall. Can I save the batch? 2nd question: is there a way to break up the bread machine kneaded batch to include the night and bake in the morning? I'd love to take these to work warm. Thanks!! If they are over risen and you think they will fall, gently punch them down and let them rise a bit more then bake. They will be a bit more dense, but should taste ok. If they have already fallen, you can still bake them. They will be quite a bit denser, but should still taste ok. Do you have a delayed start on your machine? If so, I find it very useful. I can have them all kneaded and through the first rise when I get up in the morning, shape them and let them rise while I'm doing breakfst and lunches, then bake to take to work warm. Just remember not to use the delayed start with doughs the contain eggs or milk. Mary @ King Arthur Flour
