Ingredients
  

Bread Base
  • 10 cups Bread (sourdough or French), cubed Use sourdough or French bread for best flavor.
Vegetables
  • 1 large Onion, finely diced
  • 2 cups Celery, finely chopped About 3-4 stalks.
Fresh Herbs
  • 2 tbsp Sage, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Rosemary, finely chopped
Liquids and Fats
  • 4 cups Low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
Seasoning
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cubing your sourdough or French bread into bite-sized pieces. Set it aside in a large bowl.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, sautéing until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the fresh herbs to the onion and celery mixture, stirring for one minute to release fragrant oils.
  4. Pour the sautéed veggies and herbs over the cubed bread. Drizzle the low-sodium broth, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss everything to ensure the bread is well coated.
Baking
  1. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes to crisp the top. Look for a golden-brown finish.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh herbs. You can also prep vegetables the day before to save time. Add cranberries or pecans for an added twist.
