4 The Power of Overnight Refrigeration

Your refrigerator can do more than you think. It can slow down the rising of doughs for pizzas or flatbreads so you can barbecue or bake them when you’re ready. Just bring them back to room temperature before you want to cook. The slow rising builds air pockets and more flavour so the crusts will be restaurant-style bubbly and chewy. Pasta and noodle dough can be left, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days as well, so you’re not constrained to make the noodles on the same day as kneading the dough. Store in a large resealable plastic bag and then bring the dough back to room temperature before rolling.
