To enjoy this bread, you can serve it at room temperature or warm it slightly. Warming can be done in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until it is heated through and the crust is crisp. It is also excellent when sliced and toasted, which brings out its aromatic qualities. You can slice it thickly for hearty sandwiches or thinly for appetizers. It is ready to eat straight from the package, but a little warming often improves the experience.
