❓FAQs:
Can I make it ahead?
Yes! Prepare it the day before, refrigerate, and reheat before serving.
Is cheese necessary?
Traditional recipes include it, but you can skip it for a dairy-free version.
How long does it last?
Up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Can I freeze capirotada?
It’s not recommended—frozen and thawed bread becomes mushy.
