Default where do I raise bread dough in the modern kitchen?

How much, and what kind of yeast do you use for over overnight proofing,
for a 3 cups of flour, or 1.5lb loaf? When you bring it out of frig the
next A.M. what exactly do you do before it goes in the oven? What do you
do with Pizza Dough? Our local pizza parlour rises as you do.
Thanks
Kent
