To prepare, you will typically combine the contents of the package with boiling water and butter. Stir until the bread cubes absorb the liquid. You can then bake it in a dish until it's heated through and slightly crispy on top. For added flavor and texture, consider stirring in chopped onions, celery, fresh herbs like sage and thyme, or even some cooked sausage before baking. The goal is to rehydrate the bread and meld the flavors into a cohesive side.
