Depends on what you think that means. The bread is meant to be stale. It
is meant to be soaked in cold water and then pressed out and crumbled with
the fingers.
Do not faff about toasting croutons and tossing them with the ingredients or
making careful cubes. I don't know what that is, but it is not panzanella.
This recipe is wrong. Tuscan and Umbrian peasants have been making it for
200 years and American demo chefs need to leave it alone.
