Ingredients
  

Bread and Base
  • 1 loaf Sourdough bread, diced into cubes Use stale bread for best results.
Vegetables and Herbs
  • 4 tablespoons Butter For sautéing the vegetables.
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped Add sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • 2 stalks Celery, chopped Provides crunch and flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Add more if you like garlic.

Liquid and Seasoning
  • 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth Use low-sodium if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the diced sourdough bread on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  3. While the bread is toasting, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing until they become tender.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Mixing and Baking
  1. In a large bowl, combine the toasted sourdough bread with the sautéed vegetables.
  2. Add in your chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper, tossing everything gently to combine.
  3. Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, mixing until the bread is moist but not soggy.
  4. Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish and cover it with foil.
  5. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes for a crispy top.

Notes

Use stale bread for better absorption of broth. Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients such as nuts or dried fruits, and taste as you go to adjust seasoning.
