Tips

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs more liquid and gives the dressing a better texture.
  • Cut the bread into small cubes: This will help the dressing cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the dressing: This will help them to soften and release their flavor.
  • Use a combination of herbs and spices: This will give the dressing a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the dressing: The dressing should be cooked until it is heated through, but not so long that it becomes dry.
