Sourdough Bread Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
• Cut or tear the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread it evenly on 2 baking sheets.
• Toast the bread in the oven until completely dry and beginning to crisp and brown, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the optional mushrooms and a few pinches of salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add celery, onion, 2 tablespoons butter, and thyme.
• Once the butter has melted, cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add sage and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add chicken broth to skillet and stir to combine.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Transfer toasted bread cubes to a large bowl.
• Pour the chicken broth mixture over the bread cubes and toss to combine until the bread cubes absorb the liquid.
• Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, and sprinkle with parsley.
• Bake in the center of the oven until heated through and the top is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• Remove the stuffing from the oven and allow to cool about 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine all the dried herbs together. Rub the turkey parts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then rub with all of the dried herbs. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the turkey in 1 layer in a large roasting pan.
• Put the turkey in the oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of the thigh reads 160 to 165 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and let stand, covered with aluminum foil. It's ready to serve in 10 to 15 minutes, but can stand, covered, for up to 1 hour so that the stuffing or other side dishes can be completed. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Meanwhile heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, apples, and celery and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, sage, and thyme and stir to coat the apples and vegetables with the herbs. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the cubed bread and the warm chicken broth. Toss to combine and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 5 by 8-inch baking dish and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F until golden brown on top, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Chop the onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic, optional walnuts or chestnuts, and herbs.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute and add salt and pepper to taste (the amount you use will depend on your preference and your stock e.g. homemade unsalted or not).
• When the vegetables have softened, add the herbs and optional nuts, and saute for another minute or so, then add 1 cup of the stock.
• In a medium bowl (with a pour spout if possible), beat the eggs, then add the remaining 2 cups of stock.
• Place your cubed sourdough bread in a large mixing bowl. (You could put the bread directly in the baking pan, but stirring may be difficult.)
• Pour the saute mixture over the cubed bread and mix. Then pour on the stock-egg mixture and fold everything until it's thoroughly combined.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly oil or butter a 9x13 baking dish.
• Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly, cover and let sit for about 20 minutes for the bread to absorb the liquids.
• After the rest, if the top bread cubes seem dry and there is no loose liquid underneath, sprinkle on 1-2 cups of water, stir everything again inside the pan, and then put the pan in the oven.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the internal temperature is at least 160°F. Cover with foil if the stuffing begins to brown too much.
• After removing from the oven, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if you want.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, celery, carrot and onion; cook and stir until tender., Transfer to a large bowl. Add bread cubes and seasonings; toss to combine. Stir in egg and enough broth to reach desired moistness., Transfer to two greased 10-oz. ramekins or a 1-qt. baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes or until top is lightly browned and a thermometer reads 160°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread bread on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake until just golden, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer to very large bowl.
• Cook Italian sausage in large pot over medium-high heat until browned, breaking up pieces with back of fork, about 12 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to small bowl. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in same large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped fennel, onions and fennel seeds. Sauté until fennel and onions are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add pears, bell peppers and herbs. Sauté until pears and peppers are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add wine and boil until most liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. (Toasted bread cubes, sausage and fennel mixture can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately. Store bread at room temperature; refrigerate sausage and fennel mixture.) Add sausage and fennel mixture to bread cubes. Season stuffing to taste with salt and pepper.
• To bake stuffing in turkey:
• Loosely fill main turkey cavity with stuffing. Add enough broth to remaining stuffing to moisten lightly (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on amount of remaining stuffing). Generously butter glass or ceramic baking dish. Spoon remaining stuffing into dish and dot remaining stuffing with 1 tablespoon butter before baking in dish. Cover with buttered foil, buttered side down. Bake stuffing in dish alongside turkey until heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover stuffing. Bake until top is just crisp and golden, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
• Heat 1/2 cup water in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up into 1-inch pieces until no longer pink and most of the water has evaporated. Drain and discard any grease.
• Add butter and increase heat. As sausage starts to sizzle, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook to a light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add parsley, sage, and rosemary; cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add bread cubes and turn gently to moisten, being careful not to break them. Add more chicken broth in 1/4-cup increments, if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper, being careful not to burn yourself. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until golden brown, another 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the bread lengthwise and crosswise without cutting through the bottom crust into about 1" squares.
• Insert cheese between cuts.
• Combine butter, onions, garlic and poppy seeds, drizzle over the bread and cheese evenly.

Steps:

• Sofrito
• Dice the onion, garlic and celery, and sauté with the sage, thyme and pepper in the olive oil until tender but not browned.
• Put HALF of the sofrito in the dough bowl. Reserve the other half in the refrigerator for after the bulk fermentation.
• Dough
• Mix together the flours, salt, cranberries and half the sofrito.
• Dissolve the starter in the water, and add the water/starter to the flour mix and stir until incorporated.
• Cover with plastic and let sit for 8-14 hours at room temperature. If you put the dough in the oven with the light on, 8 hours is probably sufficient. At a house temps below 67 F / 19 C, expect to wait closer to 14 hours. The dough is ready when it looks fluffy or bubbly and has doubled in size.
• Scrape the dough out of its bowl onto a well-floured countertop. Gently spread the dough into a rectangle. Fold one third of the dough inward, and lay the reserved sofrito onto the double-layer of dough. Fold in the other third and then fold in half. See the Breadtopia video for more details on folding and shaping.
• Let rest for 15 minutes. This is your chance to wash the dough bowl before any remnants dry into cement. Also, prep your proofing basket by dusting it with flour, or by flouring a tea towel to line your basket.
• Flour your hands and the dough, flip it and tuck the edges under while rotating it to create a boule or batard shape.
• Lay your dough in the basket, seam side down and cover the basket with plastic.
• Put the basket in the refrigerator for about 10 hours (up to 20) OR leave the basket at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven and baking vessel thirty minutes before the proofing time is up. I use the Breadtopia Clay Baker and a Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven, both of which can heat to 500 degrees and can take a cold dough. Please follow the temperature limits of your vessel.
• Flour your hand and flip the dough out of the basket and place it into the hot baking vessel. The seams will open up, but you can also score it with a razor.
• Bake until the internal temp is around 205 F / 96 C
• 20 minutes at 500 degrees, lid on
• 10 minutes at 450 degrees, lid on
• 10 minutes at 450 degrees, lid off
