Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups cubed day-old bread (white or whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • 2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic until soft, about 5–7 minutes.
  • 3. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, and rosemary.

  • 6. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until top is golden and crispy.
  • 7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mix of bread types for extra texture.
  • Add cooked sausage, mushrooms, or dried cranberries for variation.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half the butter with olive oil and use low-sodium broth.
