Notes
- Sourdough bread: To make stale bread with a fresh loaf, start by tearing bread into bite-sized pieces. Evenly layer pieces of sourdough on a large sheet pan. Bake at 300F until almost toasted, about 15 to 20 minutes. The bread should still be a little soft and not competely dried out, as stale bread would be.
- Herbs: One tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs can be replaced with one teaspoon of dry herbs.
- Making ahead: Fresh bread can be torn into bite-sized pieces 2-3 days in advance. Store in a closed container at room temperature. Prepare the sautéed vegetables and vegetable broth 1-2 days in advance. When you are ready to make the stuffing, simply pour melted butter and simmering vegetable broth mixture over the stuffing and follow recipe instructions to cook.
- Leftovers: Keep leftovers refrigerated in a closed container for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through for the best texture. Reheating in the microwave works but will yield softer stuffing.
