Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 loaf of day-old bread cut into cubes
  • 1 cup of diced onion
  • 1 cup of diced celery
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon of dried sage
  • 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional: 1 cup of cooked sausage or mushrooms

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Sauté pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Cut the day-old bread into cubes and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onion and celery; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute to release the aromas.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, and chopped parsley.
  6. Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring gently until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; uncover during the last 10 minutes of baking for extra crispy edges.
