    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 sauté 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.


    P.S. I have always used my own homemade bread for stuffing but that is my preference. Although I have to say I have made croutons and bread pudding out of Ener-G Tapioca bread during demonstrations and it works well due to its dense texture.
