Gluten-Free Stuffing

Gluten-Free Stuffing
Ingredients
*8 Cups of gluten free bread cubed (Your favorite bread from a bakery or wherever you get your bread, they will probably even cube it for you. )
*½ Onion Chopped
*1 C Chopped Celery
*Salt and Pepper
*Poultry Seasoning
*Sage
*Thyme
*Parsley
*1 Egg
*¼ Milk (You can use heavy whipping cream if you want it thicker/creamier)
*½ C Chicken Broth

Directions
*Lay bread cubes (crumbs) out on a cookie sheet and toast in your oven for 1 hr @ 225 degrees. Leave cubes out on counter over night to dry out more.
*Next day put bread cubes, seasonings, onion and celery in a bowl and mix
*Combine egg, milk and broth in separate bowl and mix
*Dump wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix (You will have to eyeball how wet you want it to be)
*Place in 9X13 pan, cover with foil and bake at 325 degrees for ½ hour. At ½ hour point check it and see if you want to add more liquid. Cover with foil again and bake for another ½ hour. DONE!!!

My sister said that gluten-free bread soaks up moisture better than other bread so be careful not to oversaturate. It’s personal preference as to how moist or dry you like your stuffing so just experiment.
