FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Fresh peaches are best for this recipe because they hold their texture. If using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
What type of bread works best?
A sturdy bread like sourdough or whole wheat works well to hold the fillings without becoming too soft when grilled.
