Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325°F oven until warmed through to maintain crispness, or microwave for a quicker option (though the crust may soften). You can also freeze slices for up to 2 months and reheat مباشرة in the oven.
