To enjoy this bread at its best, it is recommended to lightly toast slices before serving. This process enhances the aroma and texture of the bread, bringing out the subtle caramel notes and the crunch of the pecans. It can be served warm or at room temperature. For a delightful dessert, try it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. It also makes an interesting base for French toast or bread pudding, adding a sophisticated twist to classic dishes.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any leftover bread in a cool, dry place, ideally in a bread box or a loosely tied plastic bag. Avoid refrigerating, as this can dry out the bread. For longer storage, slices can be frozen and then toasted directly from the freezer.
