Thanksgiving Dressing

This dressing is very popular among our friends in The Netherlands.  Each Thankgiving our guests are amazed by the dish and the recipe is always requested.  I love tasting it as I´m making it!

12 cups broken bread pieces
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 cups chicken broth

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, toast bread cubes 5 to 7 minutes or until barely golden. 

In a large skillet, melt butter and cook onion and celery over medium heat for 5 minutes or until softened.  Transfer to a bowl and add bread crumbs, herbs, salt, pepper, and chicken broth.  Toss well and adjust seasoning.  Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes until heated through and crust forms on top.
