Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool completely on the sheet. Hot cubes will trap steam and undo all your hard work.
This is the perfect moment to pet your cat or stare out the window. Breathing is also recommended.
Cooled cubes are crisp and ready. They’ll wait patiently for you to assemble the stuffing.
Can You Make Them Ahead?
Absolutely! Store them in a zip-top bag at room temperature for up to three days. Just squeeze out the air.
For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month. No need to thaw—just toss them into your stuffing recipe frozen.
It’s like having a secret stash of bread that’s always ready for a party. You’re essentially a bread-based time traveler.
