I’m pretty sure as a kid I turned my nose up to stuffing and I have no idea why.It could have been the variety of breads used, or the hidden ingredients that I wasn’t sure I liked.

If I could only go back in time and do it better as a kid.This and Pecan Pie would be top on my list for sure.

We love to make the quick and easy Stove Top Pecan and Craisin stuffing recipe.It’s a crowd pleaser and has graced our table many man years.

But go ahead and try this recipe because I’ll prove to you why this is hands down a fantastic recipe that you will love.

Herb stuffing combined with sourdough is a wow to your taste buds.If you can get ahold of my favorite Boudin Sourdough, grab it!But otherwise grab a loaf from your local bakery.

Pro Tip:

Do yourself a favor working up to the big holiday meal celebration and let’s get this bread tried out.Slice the loaf in ½in slices and then each slice into ½ inch cubes.Bake bread on baking sheets for about an hour to dry bread cubes out and allow to completely cool.

Then store in a large Ziploc bag until your event or place in a large bowl to cool and make stuffing the same day.

Shopping List

Sourdough Loaf: This is about a 1 to 1 ½ pound loaf or round.Make it fresh, buy it from the bakery it will all be fantastic.

Broth: I love Swanson Broth.A Chicken or Vegetable broth is perfect

Herbs: Fresh Sage, Thyme, Parsley and Rosemary.

Vegetables: Onions and Celery and garlic too.

Other: Eggs, they will help to bind everything together

How to make Sourdough Bread Stuffing

Follow the Pro Tip above and slice and cube bread into ½ inch cubes.Bake in oven for about an hour to dry bread out nicely.It’s nice to toss bread cubes half way through just to help the process of drying the bead.

Allow bread to cool completely before storing for later.If you are drying bread on the same day as making the recipe, it’s still a good idea to allow bread to cool too.

In a skillet over medium to high heat saute diced onions and celery in a little melted butter.Onions should soften and turn transparent and celery will also soften while stirring occasionally.Then add a little garlic and saute.Then turn off heat.

Meanwhile chop herbs.It may seem like a lot, but the amounts are perfect.I like to use Sage, Thyme, Parsley and Rosemary.However you could also add fresh Basil and Oregano if you wish too.

Add chopped fresh herbs to sautéed vegetables and give a good mix.The heat from the onions and celery will soften the herbs nicely. Dried herbs can be used if needed.

In a large mixing bowl combine herb mixture to bread cubes and give a good stir to mix everything together.

Mix eggs with chicken broth in a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper then pour over bread cubes and gently stir.I find it best to drizzle liquid all over this Homemade Stuffing Recipe before stirring.

Eggs add richness to the stuffing, and makes it cohere better. I'd use two eggs per pound of bread.

Do you have to discard sourdough starter every time? ›

Although you need an active, well-maintained starter for certain artisan breads, you can still make tasty bread with a sluggish, slow starter so you don't have to discard sourdough starter daily. In fact, many of my favorite sourdough bread recipes use discard for flavoring to give bread that classic tang.

What can ruin a sourdough starter? ›

High Temperatures - preheating your oven with your sourdough starter inside can lead to your starter's demise - but it would have to be completely baked for it to be completely unresponsive to some TLC.
