I found this recipe for a pull apart cheesy bread that I love. It turned out ok the first time, and I'd like to try it again for a dinner I'm having this week.  However, I don't have a lot of time to prepare dinner after work (hopefully 1-2 hours max), and I was wondering how to break up the recipe to have it ready for dinner on time. I need to take about a half-day to one-day break in the middle; where/how do I split this recipe up?? Thank you so much for your help!! 
There are at least three potential downsides:   wood is quite light, so you will not get the benefit of added weight of the pestle for crushing; many wooden mortars have a smooth texture, which will not aid in the grinding as much as, e.g., a coarse ceramic mortar; and wood is porous—increasingly so as it dries over time—so it may have the tendency to pick up the flavors of its contents.
