This is mostly the recipe from spendwithpennies.com, but I modified it to incorporate the gluten free bread that is on this website. I also made the portions for serving six people.
Ingredients
- 6 cups dried bread crumbs (see instructions below for making these from gluten free bread)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 ribs of celery (diced)
- 5 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp ground sage
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp rosemary
- 2 cups chicken broth
Directions
To make the dried bread crumbs:
- Bake a loaf of GF bread using the recipe on my website.
- Once cooled, cut the bread up into 1/4″ cubes.
- Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and dry the bread cubes in an oven at 300 degrees F for 20 minutes.
- Let the bread cubes cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
- Store the dried bread cubes in an air-tight container or ziplock bag until needed.
To make the stuffing
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- In a large skillet under medium heat, melt the butter then add the onion, celery, and sage. Cook until the onion and celery are tender (about 10 minutes).
- In a large bowl, add the dried bread cubes, cooked onion/celery mixture, and all the other spices. Mix.
- Add half the chicken broth and mix again.
- Continue adding chicken broth until the bread cubes are moist, but not soggy. You probably won’t use all the broth.
- Place the bread mixture into a baking dish and bake covered for 35 minutes. Uncover then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
