How do I keep stuffing from drying out?

Bake covered for most of the time, and add a splash of broth before reheating leftovers if needed.

Can I make this stuffing ahead of time?

Yes. You can assemble the stuffing up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the fridge. Bake it fresh when you’re ready to serve.

What kind of bread works best for stuffing?

Day-old white bread, sandwich bread, or bakery loaves all work well. The key is making sure the bread is fully dried so it absorbs the broth properly.

Should the stuffing be wet or dry before baking?

It should be moist but not soggy. When you squeeze a handful, it should hold together without dripping.

Can I use store-bought bread cubes?

Absolutely. They’re convenient and work just as well, just watch the salt level since some are already seasoned.
