Instructions
- 1
The night before (or at least 8 hours ahead), spread the crumbled cornbread and cubed white bread in a single layer on two large rimmed baking sheets. Leave uncovered at room temperature until completely dried out and stale — the pieces should feel firm and dry to the touch with no soft spots.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
