Notes

If using all plain bread cubes add 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon sage to the dressing.
Cutting the bread into smaller cubes will allow more flavors to blend in every bite
My grandma used broth straight from her roasting Thanksgiving turkey, but store-bought chicken broth works just as well.
