Notes

Let the bread cool completely before slicing.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 5 - 10 seconds. Otherwise it can be a bit crumbly (since the recipe doesn't contain gluten).

For longer storage, wrap slices in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze. Reheat in the microwave for 15 - 30 seconds (take out of the foil first!).
