To enjoy this bread, simply take out the desired number of slices. For sandwiches, layer your favorite fillings between two slices. For toast, place slices in a toaster until golden brown.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a crusty baguette, this Italian bread has a softer texture and a less pronounced crust. Its interior is also typically more tender. This makes it a good choice when a chewier or firmer bread is not desired, and it absorbs liquids more readily.

Home cooks who want a convenient bread for everyday meals will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, ensure the package is sealed tightly after opening. Store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigeration, as this can make the bread stale more quickly. For longer storage, the bread can be frozen.
