Can you use other breads?
This recipe features sourdough bread; however, it can be made with other rustic bread or even combinations.
Try bread such as Italian, French, or Ciabatta along with Sourdough as well.
It’s also important to note that day-old bread works the best for this recipe.
Tips for Making Sourdough Bread Stuffing:
This recipe is important to carefully follow the instructions but there are a few additional things to keep in mind in case you have questions.
This homemade stuffing can be doubled, simply double each ingredient. If you prefer to not toast the bread first, then cut up the bread and leave it out overnight so that it dries out before adding the liquid.
This is also a great recipe to prep ahead, all of the steps can be done, but before baking, wrap it with plastic wrap. Place it in the fridge overnight. Once you are ready to make this, remove it from the fridge and let it sit out at room temperature for about an hour before baking.
Do you have to use fresh herbs?
Fresh Herbs do work the best for this recipe and give an abundance of flavor. If you do only have dried available, remember that about 1 Tbsp of Fresh Herbs is equal to about 1 Tsp of Dried Herbs, so you would then need to convert it according to the recipe.
