1) Leave bread out overnight so it becomes stale (if you forget, toast it, but stale is best).
2) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3) Cube bread.
30 minutes: check every 10 minutes adding more broth as necessary.
Serves 8
6 slices of whole-wheat or gluten free bread
1 cup vegetable broth, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
4 celery stalks, sliced or diced
2-3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1) Line a skillet with a thin layer of broth and saute onion and celery until onion is translucent and all the liquid has cooked off. Set aside to cool.
2) In your casserole or baking dish, toss bread cubes with 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning. Stir in cooked onion and celery and add more seasoning if desired. (Go on, give it a taste!)
3) Drizzle with 1/4 cup broth and bake for 30 minutes.
4) Check every 10 minutes and add more broth as necessary to prevent stuffing from drying out. (The preferred "wetness" of stuffing varies from family to family--do what you like!)
