Hi Debi, while this is an approach that you can use with some yeast doughs (like our No-Knead Crusty White Bread), the longest this dough should rest in the fridge is overnight (about 12-16 hours). You're welcome to prepare the dough through shaping and then cover the buns with lightly greased plastic wrap to rest in the fridge overnight. The next morning, take the buns out of the fridge and let the buns rest at room temperature while the oven preheats. (They'll have risen in the fridge overnight.) Bake as directed and enjoy! If you need to make the buns further ahead than a single day in advance, you might consider baking the buns all the way through and then freezing the baked buns. You can wrap the thawed buns in foil and warm them in a low oven for about 10-15 minutes to serve warm. Kye@KAF
