Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep the bread crispy.
Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
For best taste and texture, enjoy fresh.
