Overnight final rise. Can you let the croissants rise in the fridge once they are rolled into shape, and bake the next morning?

This is how to make croissants

From other bread and roll baking, I find letting the item rise a long time after shaping (over-rising) often leads to collapsed or mid-shapen loaves or rolls.
If you want to make the croissants with minimal work after the final shaping/rise, follow the suggestions in the head note to shape and freeze.
Then defrost and bake.

Should read: mis-shapen
