A Reddit cook is oven-drying months of saved bread ends for stuffing

A zero-waste cook on Reddit said they saved loaf ends for months in a gallon-size bag, checked each piece for mold, cubed them and put them in the oven to dry. They plan to season and store the pieces with spices and chicken bouillon for homemade stuffing.

Drier bread works well in stuffing because it can absorb liquid and seasoning without falling apart as quickly. Reusing the ends may also help households avoid buying boxed stuffing mix, croutons or breadcrumbs.
