Note

For best texture, use stale or day-old bread. You can also dry fresh bread cubes in the oven at 300ðF for 15 minutes before assembling.

Substitute pork with leftover turkey, chicken, or sausage for a different flavor profile.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Adjust the amount of broth based on the absorbency of your bread. Add gradually until the desired moisture level is reached.
