It will last about 5 days in the fridge. After that the yeast start to die
and the dough turns a grayish color. It can still be cooked and eaten but
it will have a sourdough flavor and it will not rise very much. Perfectly
edible just the same. You can also freeze dough. I keep a few 1 pound
balls of dough in the freezer. Double wrap them and they'll keep 6 months.

Sauce is good for about a week or two. You can also freeze the sauce.
Being acidic it keeps longer but it will grow mold after a couple weeks.
