Ingredients

  • 8 cups Italian or French bread cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 5 tablespoons butter divided
  • 3/4 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 cup celery chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken-style broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden and dry. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Set a medium skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, add onion and celery. Cook 5-6 minutes, until softened. Stir in salt, pepper, sage, oregano, ginger, dried thyme, parsley, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable mixture to the toasted bread. Pour in broth gradually, tossing gently, until the bread is evenly moistened.
  • Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and drizzle evenly over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown with crisp edges. Serve warm.
