Preparation

1. Prepare the Bread

If using fresh bread, cut it into cubes and toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until golden and dry. If using stale bread, skip this step.

2. Chop Vegetables

Chop the onion, celery, and garlic. Measure out the spices and herbs.

Cooking

3. Sauté Vegetables

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. If using, add dried cranberries and nuts.

5. Add Broth

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the mixture, stirring gently until the bread is moistened but not soggy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Baking

6. Transfer to Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish.

7. Bake the Stuffing

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is crispy and golden.
