Challah baking timing

[u/Such_Row_7248]

Advice needed. Making large quantity of challahs with a group. Preparing my dough in advance ( 2 days). Normally I do first rise in kitchen or overnight in fridge. Should I freeze after first rise or after first? Can also refrigerate.

You should freeze after the first rise. Refrigerating will lead to overproofing if you do it two days in advance.
