Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (about 12 ounces) gluten-free bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or dairy-free butter), plus more for greasing
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 celery stalks, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth, warm
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the gluten-free bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Toast for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are dry and lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. While the bread toasts, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the fresh sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted bread cubes and the sautéed vegetable-herb mixture. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  6. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the warm broth, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the bread and vegetables. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until the bread is evenly moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it into an even layer. Do not press down too firmly.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, use a sturdy gluten-free bread like Canyon Bakehouse or Schär. Toast the bread cubes until dry but not hard. Use warm broth for even absorption. Let the stuffing rest for 5 minutes after baking to set the structure. For extra crispy edges, spread in a thinner layer or broil for the last 2 minutes.
