Stuffing vs Dressing
I must say I found out I inadvertently named this recipe incorrectly. Technically, since this is cooked outside of the bird, it should be considered a gluten free dressing. You can read about the stuffing vs dressing debate here.
What do you call it?
It sounds funny to me and I am tempted to buck the trend and just call this a gluten free stuffing. Are you okay with that?
What is the best gluten free bread to use for stuffing?
You can use any bread to make this gluten free dressing recipe! Now I am not too sure about sweet raisin bread, but you can use multigrain bread, white bread, bagels, etc.
As for what brand of gluten free bread is best in stuffing, I will say again, use your favorite. I have used Udi's, Franz, Canyon Bakehouse, and Trader Joe's brand breads in this recipe and they all tasted great!
Can you make it ahead?
For this recipe, you can make this easy gluten free stuffing recipe ahead. I made this a few hours before baking without a problem. You do want to keep it refrigerated because it is made with chicken broth.

How can this recipe be gluten free when you're using bread cubes?

Hi Shirley, It can seem odd to see stuffing when you are gluten free! I did mention in this post I used gluten free bread to make this stuffing. Any gluten free breads works beautifully with this recipe. I used Franz gluten free seeded bread. Thank you for stopping by.
