• In a bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and seasonings. Add water and oil; beat just until moistened. Add egg and beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down. Shape into a large round loaf. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. , To make stuffing, cut cooled bread into 1-in. slices and then into cubes. Let stand for 24 hours to dry. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, eggs, butter and enough broth to achieve desired moistness. Stir to blend. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 60 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• 1. Cut up bacon in one-inch pieces.
• 2. Brown lightly in pan. Do not drain grease. You can use any bacon you like, My mom always used Oscar Mayer which has a certain flavor.
• 3. When browned. add celery and saute for 2-3 minutes.
• 4. Add onions and continue sauteing until they become glassy and soft but not browned.
• 5. Empty dressing bags into a large pan (I use an old roasting pan).
• 6. Pour the bacon, onion, and celery evenly over the bread.
• 7. Sprinkle about 1 tsp rubbed sage and mix well.
• 8. Add chicken broth a little at a time. The dressing should be moist but not soggy. The bread cubes should still look like cubes but should be starting to stick together.
• 9. Stuff your 12-14 lb turkey. There will be leftovers.
• 10. Roast according to directions. Don't stuff ahead of time.
• 11. Place the leftovers in a baking dish.
• 12. Add a little more chicken broth.
• 13. You can drizzle some melted butter over the top to make top nice and crispy.
• 14. Bake at 350 until warm and brown, about 45 minutes.
• 15. My sons love this and would eat only this for Thanksgiving with some gravy! It is a rather basic stuffing that is always a crowd pleaser.

Steps:

• 1. Chop onion and celery.
• 2. Saute onion and celery in butter, in a large 4 qt. (oven-safe) pot, over medium heat. Stir often, until soft and golden. This will take about 20 minutes.
• 3. While the vegetables are cooking, cut your bread into cubes. Set aside.
• 4. Stir the seasonings into the onion and celery mixture. Add chicken broth, and heat just to boiling -- do not boil.
• 5. Turn off heat, and stir in bread cubes. Toss to coat, till everything is blended well. If you need more broth you can add it here, but you don't want it too wet. It's going to soften more as it warms in the oven.
• 6. At this point the stuffing is ready to serve. But it's even better if you warm it in the oven, at 350* for 20-30 minutes. For moist stuffing warm it right in your pot. If you like your stuffing dry, spread it in a shallow baking dish for this step. This recipe holds very well, so if you need a little more time, just cover and set the pot aside until you're ready, then uncover and warm 30-40 minutes.
• 7. *Fresh or dry, it doesn't matter, just what you have on hand. If what you have is fresh, just cut it up an hour or two before you want to use it, or lay it on a baking sheet in the oven while you preheat. Use regular bread or gluten free bread, and try a mixture of two or three, like whole wheat, 12 grain, sourdough, sprouted grain, even rye, or cornbread leftovers! Chances are, if it's bread you like, you're going to enjoy it in the stuffing. I keep the heels of a loaf in a bag in the freezer just for this. Whatever is in the mix, it's always delicious.
• 8. NOTES: For weeknight dinners I just make half the recipe. The onion and celery can be prepared ahead and stored in the frig until you're ready to put the stuffing together. If you like more stuff in your stuffing, just throw it in: with the onion and celery if it needs cooked, or with the broth at the end if it doesn't. Options include: mushrooms, chestnuts, oysters If you're vegetarian, use whatever butter substitute you like, and use water or vegetable broth in place of the chicken stock. This recipe really is no fail!
