Servings: 10
Equipment
- Baking Sheet if Toasting Bread Cubes
- Baking Dish 9 x 13-Inch
Ingredients
- 1½ Loaves bread stale, air-dried or toasted and cut into 1-inch cubes (should make 13 cups)
- 2 Tablespoon fresh sage minced (or ½ Teaspoons dried)
- 2 Tablespoon fresh thyme minced (or ½ Teaspoons dried)
- 2 Tablespoon fresh rosemary minced (or ½ Teaspoons dried)
- 1 Cup unsalted butter
- 1 onion larg, diced
- 5 Ribs celery diced
- 6 to 8 Cloves garlic minced
- 3 Cups chicken broth more as needed
- melted butter or oil, for greasing
- salt and black pepper to taste
- parsley or herbs freshly chopped for optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Melt 1½ sticks of the butter in a skillet over a medium heat and then add the onions and celery.
- Sauté for 5 to 8 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute or 2 until fragrant.
- Take the skillet off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the cooled vegetables and bread to a large mixing bowl. Add the minced herbs, salt and pepper.
- Mix well to combine.
- Pour in half the broth, ensuring it drizzles over the bread, and mix with a spatula, wooden spoon or your hands.
- Add more of the broth, a bit at a time, tossing the bread cubes to moisten them all. Stop adding broth when the bread is moist (don’t make it too wet).
- Now put the bread mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and dab the rest of the melted butter over the bread tops.
- Bake uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the tops of the bread cubes are golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle over fresh herbs if liked and serve alongside roasted chicken or turkey, or with steak or another meat.
Notes
Don't use too much broth: The bread cubes need to be moistened only, not submerged. You might not need all the broth.
Check it's done: The stuffing is done when it's 165°F in the middle. Check it using a digital thermometer.
Use dried bread cubes: Use toasted bread or air dried bread (you need 13 cups of dried bread which should be around 15 cups of fresh depending on the type of bread used). Stale bread works too.
