Hi Amy, this is actually one of our Baker's Tips listed in the recipe, as we understand the desire to prepare ahead of time and have the loaves ready to bake in the morning. "Want to prepare this loaf ahead, then bake it the next day? Make the bread up to the point where it's shaped and on a pan. Cover the loaves with lightly greased plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight (about 12 hours). Next morning, remove the loaves from the fridge, and let them come to room temperature and rise a bit (still covered); this will take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the warmth of your kitchen. Bake and finish as directed." Happy baking! Kye@KAF
