How to make dried bread for stuffings:
I make the traditional bread stuffing and this is how I do it.
First I cut and cube any GFCF bread that I have into the same size cubes (similar to crouton size).
I sometimes make several loaves just for this or use what ends I have left in the freezer.
Second I place the cubes on a crumbled up piece of foil on a cookie sheet in a 200 degree oven and bake for 1 hour.
I turn off the oven and let them sit in there for at least another 1 hour or until dry (overnight is best).
Third I sautee 1 C chopped onion and 2 C chopped celery in 1/2 C GFCF margarine.
After it is soft, I add 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and sometimes a extra dash of
sage and thyme (to taste).
Fourth I pour this mixture onto 6-8 C of dry and cooled bread cubes and add in 1 C of GFCF chicken stock.
I toss it with my hands until it forms and holds together when I cup it in my hands.
I sometimes add more stock if needed but not too much or it will be mushy.
Fifth I place some in the turkey and the rest I bake separately in a greased and covered baking dish at 325 for about 20-30 minutes hour (or until a thermometer reaches 160 degrees).
If you find it dried out too much you can drizzle a bit more stock on top while it cooks or if it is too moist, take off the cover and continue to bake.
