Instructions

1

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

2

Sauté vegetables

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

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.

4

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.

5

Transfer to baking dish

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

6

Bake stuffing
