Cook's Tips:

You can use the Flex+ Multi-Prep Set to make this recipe even easier. Chop the onion, celery, and carrots using the multiuse blade. Slice the mushrooms with the slicing blade.

This recipe can be made in a 9" x 13" (33 x 23 cm) pan, as well.

If your bread is fresh, cut the bread into 1" (2.5 cm) cubes to make 12 cups (3 L). Spread the cubes out onto 1–2 baking sheets and dry in a 300°F (150°C) oven until lightly golden brown, 15–20 minutes. The bread cubes can be made 2–3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag.
