Ingredients

• 12 cups Day-old crusty bread
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 medium Yellow onion, chopped
• 4 stalks Celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium Carrots, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth (for gravy)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (for gravy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Cut the day-old crusty bread into 1-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly toasted. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Add the chopped onions, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Combine the toasted bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, fresh parsley, fresh sage, and fresh thyme in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Gradually add 4 cups of broth to the bowl, mixing the ingredients gently until the bread is evenly moistened.

Step 7

Transfer the stuffing mixture to a large buttered baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Step 8

While the stuffing bakes, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 9

Add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to the saucepan, whisking continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.

Step 10

Slowly pour in 4 cups of broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook it for about 10 minutes until thickened.

Step 11

Season the gravy with 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper and adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step 12

Once the stuffing is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve the stuffing with the homemade gravy drizzled on top.
