Storage:
This cheesy pull apart bread is best served fresh, so that is what I would recommend.
However, if you have leftovers they will be delicious reheated. Your bread will stay fresh for up to a week as long as it is stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For reheating you can use the microwave to soften the bread and remelt the cheese—or you can also use the oven if you’re feeling fancy—Just check on the bread regularly while reheating to prevent burning.
