Old-Fashioned Bread Stuffing Recipe with sage, thyme, onion and celery, and cooked in chicken stock/broth, a traditional turkey stuffing for your Thanksgiving and Christmas roast. It's a very simple recipe that can be cooked either in a casserole dish, or it can be used to stuff the turkey. Easy and delicious, my kind of dish!

Ingredients
- 6 wholemeal bread whole wheat bread - or 7 cups of cubed bread, slices
- 1 ⅔ cups chicken stock (broth)
- 1 onion
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 teaspoon sage dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 25 g butter (2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- In a frying pan set over a medium heat, melt the butter, add the peeled and chopped onion, and fry until it's soft.
- Chop the celery and add it to the onion together with the seasoning and herbs.
- Leave it to cook for a further 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally for the celery to soften as well.
- Cut the bread into cubes and add everything to the onion mixture, mixing well to combine.
- Transfer everything to an ovenproof dish, and pour the stock all over the bread to be soaked well.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the mixture is well baked.
Notes
- Although you can also use fresh bread for this traditional stuffing, drier, stale bread works better - it absorbs the stock better, and it bakes to perfection.
- Homemade bread would work really here in this recipe, I have a few options for you: crusty white bread, potato bread, sandwich bread or soda bread.
- The baking time depends entirely on the texture of the bread, so it's best to keep an eye on the oven after 20 minutes - my breakfast casserole, which uses a mixture of milk and eggs instead of stock, but has a similar texture, takes over 40 minutes to cook.
