How to Make Ahead and Store Thanksgiving Bread
You can make all of these Thanksgiving bread recipes ahead of time. You can store at room temperature for a few days, in the refrigerator for up to one week, and in the freezer for up to 3 months. To get them nice and warm, just toast them in the air fryer at 350 F for about 5 minutes, or in the oven at 350 F for 10 minutes. If heating from frozen, let it thaw first and then reheat. Making bread days before Thanksgiving will make things so much easier on the day of your holiday meal.
