Ingredients

• 10 cups day-old bread, cubed
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 pieces celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Spread the cubed bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until dry and lightly golden brown.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sliced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Step 4

Add the chopped sage, thyme leaves, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the flavors of the herbs.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables and herbs, 2 cups of vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the bread evenly with the broth.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.

Step 8

While the stuffing bakes, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 9

Slowly whisk in the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth and 2 cups of water, continuing to whisk until smooth.

Step 10

Stir in the soy sauce and nutritional yeast, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Serve the stuffing warm with the gravy on the side or poured over the top.
