🧊 Storage
It can sit at room temperature for a few hours, but then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat I recommend using the air fryer if you have one. It makes heating up pizza and breadsticks perfect!
This Italian cheese bread will freeze well, so store in a freeze safe container and freeze for up to 6 months.
