My hubby stores his bread in the fridge, just like his aunt. I’ve heard it hastens staling. Seems dumb. Thoughts?
This decadent caramel cream cheese bread is a delicious treat that combines the richness of cream cheese with the sweetness of caramel. The cinnamon and vanilla add a warm and inviting aroma.
