Notes
- I suggest just starting with this recipe, and then you can simplify it to the regular version if you're looking for a quick dessert.
- Drying the bread out is essential. This can also be achieved by placing the bread cubes in the oven at a very low temperature. However, that can take up to an hour. So it's actually easier to plan and leave them out overnight.
