10-12
ingredients
- 2 loaves challah (about 1 pound each)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups celery, diced
- 2 cups onions, peeled and diced
- 2 cups granny smith apples, peeled and diced
- 8 sprigs thyme, leaves picked and minced
- 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves picked and minced
- 6 sprigs marjoram, leaves picked and minced
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
directions
- Cut challah into 1-inch cubes and let cubes sit out in a bowl or on a baking tray, uncovered, for at least six hours to make them stale. (Alternatively, you can dry bread in a 250°F oven by laying cubes in a single layer on baking sheets and baking for about 30 minutes, or until bread is dry but not toasted (it should not start to brown at all).).
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then add onions and celery.
- Add three teaspoons of salt and ground pepper to taste, and cook until onions are soft, about 8 minutes.
- Add apples and herbs and cook until apples are soft, about 5 minutes more.
- In a large bowl, combine challah cubes, cooked vegetables, and chicken broth.
- Mix until the bread is saturated with liquid, and everything is evenly mixed.
- Press stuffing into a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with foil.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes; remove the foil, increase temperature to 450°F, and stuffing for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top starts to brown slightly.
- Cool 10 minutes, then serve.
