Storage Tips
Store dinner rolls in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for up to 2-3 days to maintain freshness. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. To revive their softness, reheat them briefly in the oven or microwave before serving. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause them to dry out and lose their texture.
