Serving Size 8
Equipment
- frying pan
- wooden spoon
- 9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 350 grams dried bread cubes about 1 French loaf
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme or 3 teaspoons fresh thyme
- ¾ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ½ cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter divded, 1 melted
Instructions
- To dry a loaf of French bread, slice the bread into bite-sized cubes and place them on a baking sheet for 8 hours to dry them out.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and saute the onions for about 10 minutes until translucent and lightly browned. Add the thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Place the dried bread, walnuts, cranberries, and onion mixture into a large bowl and mix to combine.
- Add a cup of the vegetable stock and mix to combine. Gradually add more to moisten the bread without soaking it. I used about 2 1/2 cups. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 9x13 baking dish. If making ahead, cover in foil and store in the fridge until needed.
- Drizzle with the melted butter and cover with tin foil. Bake for 30 minutes covered, and another 5 uncovered to crisp up the top.
Notes
Dry your bread at home for the best flavour/texture.
