Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) loaf day old bread cubed (about 6 to 7 cups)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

Steps
- Cube bread then spread out on baking sheet and let sit overnight to dry out.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Fill 9X6-inch baking dish (about a 2 to 3 quart baking dish with cubes, heaping up a bit. This will let you know how many cubes you need.
- Put bread cubes into a large mixing bowl.
- Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and celery, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes. Add remaining seasonings and saute until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes then add, garlic, sage and thyme, salt and pepper. Saute until vegetables are soft, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add 2 cups broth to the butter mixture and give it a good mix.
- Add butter/seasoning mixture to bread cubes and mix well. Be sure to soak ALL bread cubes; if necessary, add more broth.
- Transfer to 9X6-inch baking dish (about a 2 to 3 quart baking dish). Cover with foil and bake until heated through, 40 to 50 minutes. Uncover; bake until dressing is browned and crisp, 10 to 15 more minutes.
Notes
- Do not use Publix pre-dried bred cubes - they're too dry!
- Publix Chicago Italian bread is perfect for this. Get the sandwich cut.
- DO NOT OVER BAKE. Dressing should be moist, not crunchy.
