Instructions

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Sauté vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add celery, onion, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure vegetables are evenly chopped for uniform cooking.

Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the sautéed vegetables with the cubed bread, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: Use a gentle hand to avoid breaking the bread cubes.

Add broth

Gradually pour the broth over the bread mixture, stirring gently to combine. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.

Pro tip: Add broth in stages to control the consistency.

Transfer to baking dish

Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking dish.

Bake stuffing

Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Pro tip: For a crispier top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
