Rolls are best stored in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature to maintain their softness. To prevent them from drying out, you can add a slice of bread to the container; the bread will dry out first, keeping the rolls fresher longer. For extended storage, rolls can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw them at room temperature or warm them slightly in the oven before serving for optimal texture.
