Instructions
Dry your bread by cutting it into slices and leaving it out for a couple days before using. I put mine in a large bowl and cover with a clean dish towel. Alternatively (or additionally), the night before you make stuffing roast your bread at 300°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, or toast in toaster until very lightly golden brown. Do not burn!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a large baking dish and set aside.
Prepare flax eggs and set aside in fridge.
To a large pot, add olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook on low for approximately 15 minutes or until onions are translucent.
Add herbs and cook an additional 2 minutes on low.
Add bread pieces, tossing gently to mix them with veggies and herbs.
Add broth in half cup increments to ensure you do not add too much. Stop once bread is fully moistened. It should not be soupy.
Gently stir in salt and flax eggs.
Scoop mixture into baking dish. Cover and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes. Remove cover and bake and additional 15-20 minutes until top is golden and slightly crispy.
Let sit 15-20 minutes before serving so that stuffing sets
