Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 loaf of hearty whole-grain bread cut into 1" cubes
  • 2 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 2 tsp. sage
  • 2 tsp. oregano

Instructions

Day Before Preparation

  1. Cut your chosen bread into 1-inch cubes
  2. Spread bread pieces on a baking sheet or baking tray
  3. Leave at room temperature overnight to dry out

Pro tip: If you’re short on time, dry bread cubes in a 250°F oven for 30-45 minutes.

Making the Stuffing Mixture

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat
  3. Sauté diced onions and celery until translucent (about 5-7 minutes)
  4. Transfer to a large bowl
  5. Add dried bread cubes and fresh herbs
  6. Gradually add vegetable stock, stirring until the bread is just saturated
  7. Transfer to a casserole dish or baking dish
  8. Cover with aluminum foil
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, covered
  10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top of the stuffing is golden brown.

Notes

A loaf of good whole-grain bread is what I prefer. But, other good options are sourdough bread, French bread, Italian bread, and crunchy baguettes. But, a regular loaf of whole-wheat bread off the shelf works as well.

Depending on the type of bread you use, you may increase or decrease the amount of veggie broth. You want the bread to be just saturated. Not too wet and not too dry.

Adding things dried cranberries and maple roasted pecans for extra flavor and texture is excellent. But, any healthy dried fruit, nuts, or seeds will work.

Use whatever veggies you have on hand. I really like adding mushrooms and carrots if I have them.
