Hello, Clive thanks for your help!

Well, I think that really it is not important that process, because my question was related to the use of add up and total, but if you want a complete explanation, here you are: it is a text about cookery

Hi again,

Well, I think that really it is not important that process, because my question was related to the use of add up and total, but if you want a complete explanation, here you are: it is a text about cookery, the a) process is preparing certain dough and I am searching for a way to express that if we add up the total time, it would be ten hours.

Are you writing a recipe that requires you to list "total preparation time"?

I think if you are, you need to say "Total preparation time: 10 hours (including rising overnight)" or "Total preparation time: 10 hours (2 hours preparation plus 8 hours to rise overnnight)"
