Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 cups day-old bread, cubed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large skillet
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the chopped celery and onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the bread cubes, broth, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
  4. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can toast the bread cubes lightly before adding them to the mixture. If you prefer a moister stuffing, add an extra 1/4 cup of broth.
