Notes
Storing and Reheating Leftovers:
Let the bread cool completely, then wrap tightly and store in the fridge. You can reheat in the microwave, but it might get soggy. To get a crispy exterior, reheat in the oven, in a skillet on the stove, or in your air fryer.
To freeze, stack leftovers with parchment paper between the layers and store in freezer bags for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, just po pindividual slices in the toaster, or for a large batch, spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350℉.
