INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup bread , cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 cup milk , plus more as needed to cover bread

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place bread into a medium-sized bowl and then pour 1 cup of milk or more as needed to cover the bread.
2. Allow bread cubes to soak for at least 10 minutes, until most of the milk has absorbed and bread is mushy in texture.
3. Pour off any excess milk and mash the bread mixture with a fork until there are no dry spots. The mixture should look like a starchy paste.

RECIPE NOTES

• Buttermilk, non-dairy milk, stock or broth can be used instead of milk.
• Dried breadcrumbs like cubes, panko, and smaller traditional breadcrumbs can be used. It may need more time to soak if cubed or less time if smaller sized. Just make sure the liquid is absorbed and the bread is not dry.
