For a richer flavor, consider using brioche or challah bread for the cubes. If you prefer a moister dressing, add a little chicken or vegetable broth to the oyster liquor until desired consistency is reached. Don't overbake! The dressing should be moist and tender, not dry. For a crispy top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
