Frequently Asked Cooking Questions
- → What bread is best for stuffing?
A firm loaf that’s a bit stale works great so it soaks the juices without falling apart. Try country-style or French bread.
- → Can I swap the vegetable broth?
Sure, chicken broth adds a richer taste and goes well if you add sausage or other extras.
- → How do I get a crispy top on the stuffing?
Turn on the broiler for a few minutes near the end to get a golden, crunch finish.
- → Should I cook the veggies first?
Yes, softening onions and celery in butter first boosts flavor and makes the texture nicer.
- → Can I throw in other ingredients?
Definitely, cooked sausage or dried cranberries add tasty flavors and a little variety.
