Stuffing Question

[ebrbetty]

hi guys, this will be my first year having a gluten free thanksgiving, I making my Italian sausage stuffing, but just switching to gluten-free bread...For my glutened recipe I used day old bread cup up in cubes, untoasted...was going to do the same this year with the gluten-free bread but I see other ppl saying they toast the gluten-free bread first, is there a particular reason for this? does it have to be toasted first because its gluten free?

thank you!!

I think it works either way. I toast mine because my recipe is based on the pre-packaged stuffing mix that has the crouton-type cubes. I don't want to have to figure out how to adjust the liquids. Whatever your original recipe says to do should work fine.

I just dry my bread cubes in the oven on a low temperature because I never remember to leave it out to dry. I don't think that the bread really needs to be toasted in a toaster .. . . of course, I guess it would depend on the bread recipe you are using . . . some gluten free breads MUST be toasted in order to be palatable, so that might be the reason . . . . But I don't do it, and my stuffing turns out fine.

Good luck!

Hi Betty

I would just do what you normally do--treat the gluten-free bread the same as the kind you used to use. Your sausage stuffing sounds yummy!

Have a nice Thanksgiving

We always used to toast our bread for stuffing, so I am doing the same thing with the gluten-free bread. I expect that it will taste pretty much the same as it used to with the same recipe.

So, store-bought Italian sausage, Polish kielbasa and the like are gluten-free?
