2 cups toasted bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
10 saltine crackers
2 cups vegetable stock

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take each artichoke, making certain they are well-drained, and carefully pull the leaves back slightly in order to stuff. Place the stuffing inside the core, and add a bit between the leaves. Place in a lightly oiled baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, until stuffing is nicely browned.
