I agree with the description of "stirr it faire and softe til hit come
togidre, and crudded" indicates to me that all the broth is absorbed into
the bread during the process. I think it would be difficult for this mass
to come together with still liquid being abundant in it. In fact, my first
reading of this recipe (at least 13 years ago) immediately brought to my
mind that it was similar to StoveTop stuffing.

And just having made cheese for the first time these past couple of months,
the description of "and crudded" makes more sense to me now.
