How to Dry Out Bread for Stuffing

This recipe, like many, called for the bread to be dried out. This helps keeps the bread from becoming too soggy. There are two ways to dry out bread. The simplest way is to cut cube the bread and let it sit out, uncovered, for a day or two. The second way to dry out bread is to cube the bread and place it in a low oven, about 250ºF for 1-2 hours.

How to Make Stuffing

  1. First make sure your bread is dried out (see above). This prevents the stuffing from being too soggy.
  2. Then, you want to cook the aromatics. Start with the mushrooms, and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated, and then add in the celery, carrots and onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Then, add in all the herbs and cook until they are fragrant. If you are adding any additional flavors, like cooked sausage, add them in here and stir together. Transfer the mixture to the casserole.
  3. Now, whisk together the stock, eggs, coconut aminos and salt and pepper.
  4. Finally, pour the eggy stock over the pan of bread cubes. Press down on the cubes with your hands to distribute the liquid evenly. Cover the casserole pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and cook until the stuffing is steaming hot and browned, but not dry, about 20 minutes more.

      1. But that doesn’t answer answer my question. I know I can use less, just wondering what the intent of the recipe is.

  1. For the gluten free bread isn’t 9 cups 72 ounces? 16 ounces = 2 cups last time I checked….since 1 cup =8 ounces

    1. Hi Gillian. 1 cup of liquid weighs 8 ounces, but not all objects have the same density. 72 ounces of bread would be close to 5 loaves of bread. The weight here is accurate (and it’s generally about 1 loaf of gluten free bread, depending on the brand). Hope that helps.

  2. This looks so delicious! Is there a substitution for the eggs in this recipe? We’ve got an egg allergy in our family.

  3. I am using this stuffing to make stuffed tempeh. I need to bake the tempeh with stuffing inside it. Should I bake only first 20 minutes, them stuff tempeh and finish baking? Tempeh bakes for an hour.

  4. I just made this in preparation for tomorrow, and it looks SO good! My question now that it’s all mixed is: why do I still have the coconut aminos untouched? Ha! I didn’t realize until I started putting things away that I never used it. I just reread the recipe and couldn’t find when I was supposed to add it in.

  5. Looking forward to trying this stuffing this week! Just wanted to double check though… 2 cups of mushrooms total, just cut differently? Thank you!
