How to Make Bread Cubes for Stuffing
Report
Preparing bread cubes for stuffing is a super simple, important step and ensures perfectly moist, never-soggy stuffing. Savvy cooks cut the bread up into bite-sized pieces and let it dry out in advance, or you can dry it in the oven at the last minute.

Ingredients
- 1 large loaf bread cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 pound, see note 1)
Instructions
To dry bread cubes on the counter:
- Cube and dry the bread up to 3 days in advance. Keep covered with a dry kitchen towel on counter.
To dry bread cubes in the oven:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Place cubes in an even layer and bake until bread is dried out, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Notes
- Bread: You can use almost any type of high-quality bread: unsliced French or Italian bread, sturdy sandwich loaf, brioche, challah, or even corn bread. Avoid overly-soft or fluffy white sandwich loaves.
- Yield: A 1-pound bread loaf usually makes 10 cups of bread cubes, enough for a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish of stuffing, or 10 to 12 servings (assume 1 cup stuffing per person).
