How long can pastry be left before use?

Pastry can typically be left at room temperature for up to 2 hours before it should be refrigerated to prevent spoilage. If the pastry is unbaked, it can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. For longer storage, unbaked pastry can be frozen for up to 3 months. Always ensure to properly wrap and seal the pastry to maintain its quality.
