# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like the best parts of a holiday dinner but comes together faster than takeout.
  • The gravy-soaked bread is secretly the star—it keeps everything else from drying out and makes each bite moist and flavorful.
  • You can make these for a crowd without heating up the oven, which means your kitchen stays cool and calm.
02 -
  • The bread has to be hot when it hits the gravy—cold gravy will make it stiff and wrong, and you'll wonder why it doesn't work the way it should.
  • Don't skip the soaking step thinking you can just add gravy to the wrap—the bread needs time to absorb and become tender, and it's the thing that holds all the other flavors together.
03 -
  • Make these ahead and wrap them in foil—they'll stay warm for about 15 minutes and are honestly still delicious at room temperature if you need them to be.
  • If your gravy is on the cooler side, warm it briefly in the microwave before soaking the bread; the heat is part of what makes the texture work.
