I am making the dough now for dinner tonight and tomorrow. I have all of the ingredients and a 6 qt bucket from KAF. My question has to do with the storage of the dough - is it alright to put on the lid that comes with the bucket for storage in the fridge? I am a bit confused on the storage, because it says in the 5 minutes a day book to not use an air tight lid, but this could be just for the rising portion. Also, in the book it says thad doubling and tripling is possible. If I were to do this, what bucket size would be required (from KAF of course!)? Thanks in advance for the clarification! Hi Anne - This recipe, as is, can rise to within a couple of inches of the top of the 6-quart bucket. A little mental math tells me that the medium flour bucket we offer is about 9 quarts, so that wouldn't allow you to double the recipe. The large flour bucket is about 22 quarts, so you could easily triple your recipe - although the bucket would take up most of your fridge. If you have a BIG bowl, try doubling the recipe, letting it rise, then knocking it down and putting it in the 6-quart. As it rises, keep knocking it down; it should stop rising within a day, at which time it will maybe fit in the 6-quart bucket? Sorry, just not sure... Good luck - PJH
