Notes

Freeze-
2 options for freezing. 
  1. Instead of placing in the refrigerator for an hour, place in the freezer.  When you are ready to use thaw out the night before and continue on with the instructions. 
  2. Complete all of the instructions.  Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 2 hours.  Transfer to a freezer safe Ziploc bag or container. To reheat, bake in the oven at 400 for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through or wrap in a wet paper towel and microwave at 30 second intervals until heated through.
