Things You'll Need

Step 1:

Place the vegetables in the pan and sauté them until they are done to your liking. Mix the sautéed vegetables with the bread cubes and any seasonings your recipe requires in a large bowl.

Step 2:

Bring the broth your recipe requires to a boil in a pot or saucepan. Turn off the heat, then ladle the hot broth over the bread mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly moisten the bread with the broth, but do not crush the bread too much.

Step 3:

Cover the bowl of stuffing with plastic wrap. Allow it to cool at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 4:

Remove the bowl of stuffing from the refrigerator about an hour before you are ready to use it. Allow it to warm to room temperature for about half an hour, then transfer it to a baking container as dictated by your recipe.

Step 5:

Bake the stuffing in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F for about half an hour, assuming your recipe calls for a 20-minute baking time. If your recipe calls for a different baking time, add 10 minutes to that time (to compensate for the stuffing’s cooler temperature).
