How to Make Amazing Stuffing From Scratch Breadmaker Recommended

  1. **Bake Bread:** Prepare your favorite homemade bread recipe (bread machine highly recommended). Allow bread to cool completely.
  2. **Prepare Stuffing Ingredients:** While the bread cools, prepare all other stuffing ingredients. Finely chop vegetables (celery, onions, etc.).
  3. **Combine Stuffing:** Cube the cooled bread and combine it with the chopped vegetables, herbs, sausage, and seasonings. Mix well.
  4. **Freeze Stuffing:** Transfer the stuffing mixture to a large, foil baking dish. Cover tightly with foil.
  5. **Freeze Broth:** Pour chicken or vegetable broth into muffin tins and freeze solid.
  6. **Assemble & Freeze:** Once the broth is frozen, remove the frozen broth cubes from the muffin tins and arrange them evenly over the frozen stuffing mixture in the baking dish.
  7. **Bake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the stuffing from the freezer and bake, covered with foil, for 60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until heated through and golden brown.
  8. **Serve:** Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
