- Read all my tips above.
- Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave.
- You must use dry, stale bread for this recipe. If you don't have stale bread, cut the fresh bread into cubes. Then, spread out the cubes on a baking tray and bake at 400 degrees F for 7 to 10 minutes or until dried out.
