Pillsbury^® Country Italian Bread FAQ's

For best quality, just make sure you use it before the “use-by” date on the package.

A shelf in the fridge is the best place. Temperatures in the refrigerator’s door shelves or crisper can get too warm or too cold. Quick tip: Keep the dough refrigerated until just before you're ready to bake. Warm dough can be sticky and hard to handle.

To be safe, toss out any packages of breadstick dough that are left at room temperature for more than two hours.

When you open the Country Italian Bread can, you activate the leavening that causes the dough to rise. After you open the can, you can cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to two hours before baking. After two hours, the dough will begin to deteriorate.

Nope, that'll prevent it from rising once it is baked.

For sure! For best results, use within one month after freezing.

Nope, the uneven heat of a microwave keeps the dough from browning and baking through.

No, we don't recommend it. A toaster oven’s small size often results in uneven heating, and the dough can burn.
