- Pour this mixture over the cubed bread along with the melted butter, and toss well to coat every piece of bread.
- Transfer the stuffing to the buttered pan.

Notes
Use day-old bread for best texture. Customize with fresh herbs or add vegetables like onions and celery for extra flavor. Avoid overmixing to prevent mushy stuffing. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
