Ingredients
Method
- Let bread slices air dry for 1 to 2 hours OR for up to 2 days depending on how dry it is, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
- In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and celery and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in thyme, sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper. You can add more seasonings if you like.
- Add bread cubes and mix until evenly coated.
- Drizzle broth over the bread mixture and toss until well mixed. See notes below for finishing it on the stove.
- Bake in a greased 2.5 qrt casserole dish at 350°F (180°C) for 35 to 45 minutes. If you are stuffing a turkey, leave out the broth, the juices from the turkey will moisten it.
Notes
- For the crispiest stuffing, make sure your bread cubes are completely dry before adding them to the mixture. I've found that letting them air dry overnight on a baking sheet yields the best results.
- If you're stuffing a turkey, omit the broth from the recipe. The juices from the turkey will naturally moisten the stuffing as it cooks, infusing it with extra flavor.
- To store leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through, covering with foil to prevent drying out.
