Notes
You are looking for approximately 10 cups of dried bread cubes. If you buy a 16 ounce loaf of French bread, cut it into cubes and dry over night, you can use all of that. You can also put the fresh soft cubes onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake for 30 minutes at 250 degrees (toss half way through baking) and use right away.
