INSTRUCTIONS:
For the Wonderful White Blender Bread (WWBB) Croutons…
1. Preheat the oven to 350∞F. Spray a 9×13 pan with coconut oil cooking spray.
2. Put the egg whites and xanthan gum in a blender and blend on high for 1 minute, until thickened and frothy. Add all the other ingredients and blend well for another minute or so.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned and sides are slightly pulling away from the pan.
4. Flip the bread onto a cooling rack and allow the bread to cool.
5. Reduce oven temperature to 300∞F.
6. Cube bread and place on a large baking sheet that’s been sprayed with coconut oil cooking spray.
7. Spray the top of the bread cubes with cooking spray and then sprinkle poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper over the cubes.
8. Bake at 300F for 30 minutes or until browned and crisp.
For the WWBB Holiday Stuffing…
1. While the WWBB bread cubes are in the oven, saute the celery and onions in the butter over medium heat until soft and tender. Remove from pan and place in a large bowl.
2. Brown the optional sausage until cooked through. Place the browned sausage in the bowl with the onion and celery mixture.
3. When bread cubes are toasted, remove from oven and add to the bowl with the sausage and vegetable mixture, tossing well.
4. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
5. Mix the THM Bouillon with the hot water and pour over the bread cube mixture tossing well, insuring that the liquid gets evenly distributed. If you are not using THM Bouillon and water, pour the chicken broth over the bread cube mixture at this time and toss well.
6. Spray a 9×9 pan with cooking spray and add the stuffing mixture.
7. Bake at 300F for 30 minutes or until heated through.
8. Serve with Basic Gravy or gravy of choice.
RECIPE NOTES:
– For a moister stuffing, add in the optional sausage and serve topped with the Basic Gravy recipe.
– If stuffing appears dry you may want to add additional chicken stock until you get the desired moisture content.
