Hearth Bread Stuffing

4

Serves 4 to 6

Stir chopped apples or pears into this hearty stuffing before baking, if you like, and use it to stuff your turkey. Alternately, serve it as a side dish at your holiday meals and make a vegetarian version by using vegetable broth in lieu of chicken broth.

    Ingredients: 
    • 4 cups Bakehouse Hearth Bread, cubed (we recommend our Farm Bread or Pane Paisano)
    • 6 tablespoons butter
    • 1 onion, finely chopped
    • 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
    • 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, more to taste
    • 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock, more or less

    Method: 

    Place bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 400ºF oven until golden. Set aside (this can be done several days ahead).

    In a large skillet, melt butter and add onion, carrots, and celery and sauté until vegetables are slightly brown and have caramelized a bit. Combine bread and vegetables; add herbs, salt and pepper. Add enough stock to moisten bread. If you are stuffing a turkey with mixture it is better to keep it a little dry because it will absorb the roasting juices of the bird. If you are baking stuffing separately, moister is better. For baking, spoon stuffing into a buttered baking dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until stuffing is hot all the way through.
