I’d like to make these in advance. Can I make them and leave in the fridge overnight without cooking them? They look delicious!!

I just made the dough and it’s rock hard and crumbly, are you sure you don’t have to dissolve the yeast in warm water before you add any flour. I’m not new to baking and this dough is not good
