I can relate to your disaster. I mixed up “overnight” buns (where dough is made in early evening & you make it into buns before going to bed to be baked in morning). It’s got less yeast so it’s slower to raise. Well .....I put bowl on top of refrigerator .... & went to bed. In the morning it had come out of bowl hanging down in globs over the refrigerator door. I had a houseful coming so I cut off the dried dough & proceeded.
