Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Dried bread cubes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
- 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions
Place the dried bread cubes in a large heatproof bowl.
In a medium skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped celery and onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the dried parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper, allowing the herbs to bloom in the butter for about 1 minute.
Pour the vegetable and herb mixture over the bread cubes in the bowl, mixing gently to combine.
Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a small saucepan or microwave until hot, but not boiling.
Gradually pour the hot broth over the bread cubes, tossing gently to distribute the moisture evenly. Add broth a little at a time, stopping when the bread is moist but not soggy.
Cover the bowl with a lid or foil and let the stuffing rest for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Fluff the stuffing with a fork and serve as a side dish, or use it to stuff poultry before roasting.
