Hi Hannah, what kind of bread did you want to make? If you'd like to make a yeast-raised bread like our Classic White Sandwich Bread, you could mix the dough and let it rise for about 45 minutes to an hour one afternoon after work. After the dough has had a slightly abbreviated first rise, fold the dough and place it back in a greased bowl with room to rise. Cover the bowl well and put it in the refrigerator until you get home the next afternoon. When you take the dough out of the fridge, give it another fold and then place it on a floured surface (covered well with greased plastic wrap) for an hour or so to warm up a bit, and then you can shape your loaf and put it in a greased loaf pan. It should be ready to bake within a few hours, although a slightly warmer spot (75-78°F) will help speed things up a bit.
