Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups stale bread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery stalks, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the stale bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until dry and lightly toasted. Allow the bread cubes to cool slightly.
While the bread cubes are toasting, prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the onion and celery.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the dried parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the fragrance of the herbs.
Transfer the toasted bread cubes into a large mixing bowl. Pour the cooked onion, celery, and herb mixture over the bread cubes and toss to combine evenly.
Gradually add the chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup at a time, tossing gently to avoid breaking the cubes. Add just enough broth to moisten the bread without making it soggy (you may not need the full 2.5 cups).
Transfer the mixture to a large pot or keep it in the skillet. Place it over low heat, cover, and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Serve the stuffing warm as a side dish or use it as a base for stuffing poultry.
