Semolina bread
1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups chopped onions, leeks or scallions
2 cups diced celery
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth
2 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Apples, cut into small chunks and sauteed in butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped if large

1
Chop the semolina bread into 1/2-inch cubes to make 16 cups.
2
Stale bread works best for stuffing-if yours is fresh, spread out the cubes on baking sheet and dry in a 300 degrees F oven, 15 to 20 minutes.
3
Heat 1 stick butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
4
Add the onions, celery, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
5
Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
6
Add the chicken broth; bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
7
Beat the eggs and parsley in a large bowl; stir in the bread cubes, the vegetable-broth mixture, the prepared apples, dried cranberries and apricots.
8
Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-to-4-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
9
Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F, 30 minutes.
10
Uncover and bake until golden, about 20 more minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
