Traditional Bread Dressing
This is a great way to use up leftover bread and a key ingredient for the Festivus Loaf. A delicious, savory bread dressing for your holiday meals.
Equipment
- 9-inch square glass baking dish, Mixing bowl, Pan for sautéing, Stirring spoon
Ingrediënten
- 1 large-size onion roughly chopped
- 3 stalks celery roughly chopped
- 6 tablespoons 84 g nondairy butter, divided
- 8 to 10 slices bread or 8 cups 227 g bread cubes
- 1¾ cups 415 ml vegetable broth
Instructies
- To make the bread cubes, cut the stale bread into small squares.
- If the bread is not stale, set it in a single layer on a baking sheet and let it sit uncovered overnight.
- If you don’t have time, place it in the oven at 225°F (110°C) for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Have ready a 9-inch square glass baking dish.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat and sauté the onion and celery for 5 to 7 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Place the bread cubes, celery and onion mixture, melted butter, and vegetable broth in a mixing bowl and toss until well combined.
- If you are using this dressing to stuff something (like the Festivus Loaf), stop here and proceed with the other recipe.
- Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top begins to brown.
