Best Stuffing Or Dressing Bread Recipes

HOMEMADE BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until; saute onion and celery in hot butter until onion is soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Put bread cubes in a large bowl. Season bread with salt, sage, thyme, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. Add onion mixture to bread cubes; stir. Pour bread mixture into a large casserole dish and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and hot, about 1 hour.

MOIST BREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING

Steps:

• Bring water or broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add giblets, neck, bay leaf, salt (if using), and peppercorns, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender and cooked through.
• Remove bay leaf, giblets, and neck from pan. Discard bay leaf.
• Mince giblets. Remove as much meat as possible from neck bones and mince. Add minced giblets and meat back to broth.
• Add butter and onion to pan, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place remaining ingredients except eggs into a very large bowl.
• Pour giblet mixture over bread mixture and toss to mix together well.
• For Stuffing: Stuff turkey loosely (do not pack) and roast as usual for stuffed turkey. Bake any leftover stuffing in a covered casserole alongside turkey until done, about 30-45 minutes at 350* F, depending on quantity (should be set, not wet, in the center). Adjust times as needed to bake at same temperature as turkey. Makes enough to stuff about a 16 lb turkey.
• For Dressing: Mix in eggs. Transfer to one large or two smaller baking dishes. Cover tightly and bake along with turkey for about 40-45 minutes for two small dishes or about 50-60 minutes for one large dish, at 350* F or until cooked through (should be set in middle, not wet). Adjust times as needed to bake at same temperature as turkey.

STUFFING (OR DRESSING) BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order instructed by your manufacturer. The order above is how my Hamilton Beach unit recommends. The yeast on the bottom, then flour on top of it, keeps the yeast separated from the liquid until the machine is turned on.
• 2. Set the machine to "dough" and wait; my cycle is a little less than two hours.
• 3. Turn dough out, shape into a large round loaf then place on a greased baking sheet. (The pan in the picture is made by Faberware and is a non-stick "air" type sheet; two layers of metal with airspace in between). Cover loaf and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, probably about 45 minutes.
• 4. While bread is rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the bread for about 30 minutes, or until nicely browned. Place on a rack to cool. *** After the bread is cooled, I slice the loaf in strips about 1 1/2 inches wide, then slice those pieces in cubes. I then spread the cubes on baking sheets and place in a 225 degree oven to dry out. Makes for a much nicer consistency when putting your stuffing/dressing together.***

BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Melt butter in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion in butter 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove Dutch oven from the heat.
• Gently toss celery mixture and remaining ingredients, using spoon, until bread cubes are evenly coated.
• Use to stuff one 10- to 12-pound turkey. Or to bake stuffing separately, grease 3-quart casserole or rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Place stuffing in casserole or baking dish. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 minutes longer.
