I have been going thru my holiday recipes and ran upon this one which sounds like it would be good. However, I have not tried it. It is an old one.

WHITE HOUSE TRADITIONAL BREAD STUFFING

Cut 1 loaf (16 oz) sourdough or other crusty-type bread into 1/4-inch cubes. Turn into two 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pans. Heat in 350 degree oven 30 minutes or until dry, tossing occasionally. (You may cover fresh-cut bread cubes with parchment paper & let dry at room temperature 1 to 2 days).

Heat 3 Tbsps olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped; 2 ribs celery, chopped; and 1 large carrot, chopped; saute 3 to 5 minutes or until slightly tender.

Place bread cubes in large bowl; add 2 1/4 cups chicken broth; toss to moisten. Add vegetables, 2 tsps chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp dried, 2 tsps chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried, 1/2 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp ground black pepper.

Spoon into 2 1/2 to 3-quart shallow baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in 350 degree oven 35 minutes or until heated through. Uncover; bake 10 minutes. Makes 10 cups.

NOTE: For a more moist stuffing, add more chicken broth as desired to bread cubes.
