This bread tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it moist. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

After wrapping in plastic, you can either wrap the bread again in aluminum foil or place it in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing to prevent ice crystals from forming. It will keep well in the freezer for about 2-3 months.
