Why I love this recipe for Sourdough Stuffing

If you make a lot of sourdough bread, you will from time to time have bread go stale. I routinely have day-old bread and love recipes that use a lot of the loaf.

This is the perfect recipe to use up that older bread you have on hand.

It uses simple ingredients and comes together very quickly for an easy side dish and is a great way to use up stale bread.

For the best stuffing recipe you will need

Homemade Sourdough Bread

Use any homemade sourdough bread that is preferably 2-4 days old or a stale bread.

I used the artisan loaf, but you can use a sandwich loaf as well.

Of course, fresh bread will work, as well.

Celery

Celery gives a flavor that you can’t replicate. The freshness really shines through.

Chopping Veggies

Onions

Garlic

Sage

I like using fresh herbs from my herb garden. My sage produces almost all year long. Dried sage works great as well.

Broth

You could also use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.

Salt and Black Pepper

Step-by-instructions for making sourdough stuffing

I make a super simple artisan loaf by mixing 1 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup starter, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 3 cups of flour in a large bowl the night before. Let the dough rise at room temperature that night.

The next morning, I shape it, put it in a banneton basket, and allow to rise for 2-3 hours. I preheat a dutch oven in the oven at 450 degrees.

Once preheated, I turn the dough gently onto a piece of parchment paper, slash across the top with a razor, place in the preheated dutch oven.

Bake with lid on for 25 minutes and take the lid off.

Cubing Bread

How to make this classic stuffing recipe

The day you want to make the dressing, cut the bread into 1-inch cubes.

Place bread cubes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven at 400 degrees F until lightly golden brown.

Sauteing Veggies

Preheat a large skillet on medium-high heat.

Add in 1-2 tbsp butter or olive oil. Add chopped celery and onion.

After a few minutes add 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced.

Continue to saute until the veggies start to get tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Add the toast, chicken broth, and chopped sage (or dried sage 1 tsp) to the vegetable mixture.

Adding Broth

Place skillet in a preheated oven to 350 degrees F.

Alternatively, you can put the stuffing mixture in a casserole dish and bake.

Note: Make sure the skillet is oven proof. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until set and browned.

Sourdough Dressing

Top with fresh parsley before serving.

Allow to cool completely before serving or freezing.

Storage Tips

Store leftover stuffing in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 1 month.
