10 cups cubed bread (sourdough or French)
1 large onion, finely diced
2 cups finely chopped celery (about 3–4 stalks)
2 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
4 cups low-sodium broth (chicken or vegetable)
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Prepare the Bread: Cube your bread into bite-sized pieces and let them dry out for a few hours or overnight.
Sauté the Vegetables: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add onion and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes.
Add Fresh Herbs: Stir in the finely chopped herbs and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Combine with Bread: In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried bread cubes with the sautéed vegetables and herbs.
Pour in Broth: Gradually add the broth to the bread mixture until it’s moist, but not soggy.
Season: Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as needed.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
