QUICK PREP TIP: Quick Staled Bread

---

Using naturally staled, day-old bread in our Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Strata and bread puddings allows us to assemble these dishes quickly. However, if you don’t have this on hand, you can also dry out fresh bread pieces by baking them in a rimmed baking sheet in a 225-degree oven for about 35 minutes.
