Cubes of soft white bread

Soft white bread cubes are small pieces of bread made from white bread, characterized by their soft crumb and spongy texture. This type of bread is known for its thin and tender crust, which allows the cubes to easily absorb liquids and flavors in various culinary preparations.

White bread has its origins in the European baking tradition, although it is now a common and widely consumed food in many Latin American countries and around the world. Soft white bread cubes are frequently used in recipes such as soups, salads (for example, in Caesar salad), stuffings, puddings, and desserts, where they provide texture and volume.

Their main culinary properties include their ability to absorb liquids without breaking down quickly, their neutral flavor that pairs well with various ingredients, and their softness, which contributes to a pleasant texture in dishes.

In different regions of Latin America, soft white bread cubes may also be called bread dice, pieces of bread, or soft croutons, although the latter term sometimes refers to fried or toasted bread. However, to avoid confusion in recipes, "soft white bread cubes" is a clear and universally understood description.
