So I have my whole life put pizza in the fridge when it’s done, except on the odd occasion where I’ve gotten drunk pizza woke up to it out on the bench still.
However focaccia and other bread treats get left on the bench a day or two and no one sees an issue.
How about garlic bread? Fridge? I think so but then again I think of those bacon cheese roles that just live on the bench all the time.
I just don’t know anymore
No matter the quality of the pizza, it almost always tastes better the next day after the ingredients have had time to settle in and get to know each other a bit. Same goes for a lot of different foods, which is part of why I love leftovers so much. Like I said, you just have to know how to store and reheat them properly.
For example, do you know about the microwaving technique of using twice the time at half the power? Results in more even heating, practically eliminating hot spots. (If you’re patient, you can get better results with a third of the power and 3x the time.) And don’t even get me started on the wonders of pressure coolers and electric smokers…
