Think of fresh bread as a sponge. If you toss it into your stuffing mix, it turns into a soggy, gluey mess. Dry bread, however, acts like a tiny, toasted fortress.
It soaks up all that delicious broth and butter without falling apart. Plus, you control the flavor—sourdough, brioche, or a rustic country loaf? The choice is yours.
And honestly? It makes you look like a kitchen wizard with almost zero effort. Who doesn’t love that little flex?
