To prepare, you will typically combine the dry mix with broth or water and butter or oil in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the bread cubes are tender. You can also bake it in a casserole dish for a crispier texture. Some people like to add fresh ingredients like chopped onions, celery, or herbs for extra flavor and texture. It is ready to serve once cooked through.
