I made some bread dough about 4pm yesterday. I left it on the side and forgot about it. I went in to the kitchen this morning to see it still there.
Is it still ok to use as I try not throw things away. it standard bread dough no eggs in it and my kitchen does not get warm this time of year probably no more than 15 degrees.
Bin it or use it?

Presumably it has risen... a bit.
Sure it will be fine
You can leave dough in the fridge overnight....Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Presume that the dough will be baked before you consume it? Then it'll be fine.Decluttering awards 2025: 🏅🏅⭐️ and one for mum 🏅1

Let us know how it turned out - did you get the sourdough tang? We make bread dough in the machine all the time and leave it overnight. The only risk is that is it rises too much and collapses.Fashion on the Ration

Sourdough gets left for ages before baking.
You may have discovered a better tasting loaf. Go for it.2
