- You can pause here, cover it, and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. If you are making it in advance, take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you plan to put it in the oven.
- Bake at 350° F for 50 - 55 minutes. Ovens can vary, so if you had it in the fridge, double check the center to make sure it is cooked through. Bake it covered with heavy duty aluminum foil for the first 40 minutes. Then remove the foil for the remaining time.
