Notes

This casserole can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and bake in the morning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave for the best texture. Consider using different types of bread dough, such as crescent roll dough.
