Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of day-old bread, cubed
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a skillet, melt butter and sauté onion and celery until soft.
- In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, broth, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until the bread is moistened.

Modifications: For a richer flavor, add cooked sausage or mushrooms to the mixture. You can also use different types of bread, such as cornbread or whole grain, for varied textures.
