Tips:
Now there is heating in the house and the room temperature is relatively high. It is advisable to store the bread for no more than three days at room temperature. If you can’t finish eating it for a while, it can be stored in the cold after cooling. When you want to eat it, it can be brought back to the temperature or in the oven Bake at low temperature for about 5 minutes; do not put it in the refrigerator, it will age the starch in the bread, accelerate its drying and hardening, and affect the taste.
