Tips

• Use day-old or stale bread for the best texture.
• If you want a crispy top, remove the foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
• You can add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as sausage, apples, or cranberries.
• If you want to make the stuffing ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of baking and then refrigerate it. When you are ready to bake it, let it come to room temperature first and then bake as directed.
