EASY HOMEMADE STUFFING

Steps:

• Heat water between 105-115°F.
• I use water out of the tap, and let it run until I just can't keep my hand under any longer!
• Dissolve yeast in water in a large mixing bowl.
• Stir in sugar, oil and salt.
• Stir in 2 cups flour until smooth.
• Cover with a dish cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 15 min or until double in size.
• Stir down and add spices; stir.
• Add 2 1/2 cups flour, and stir to combine.
• Place 1/2 cup flour on your clean dry kneading surface.
• Turn dough onto surface and knead until most of the flour is worked in, or to a nice smooth consistency, 3-8 minutes.
• Cut in half and form into 2 loaves.
• Place in loaf pans sprayed with oil.
• Allow to rise, covered, for 20 min or until doubled in size.
• Bake at 425°F, or until it is lightly browned and sounds hollow when tapped on top.
• Take out of pans immediately and allow to cool.
• When cool, cut into slices, and cubes.
• Put on a baking sheet.
• Bake at 300°F for 1 hr or until lightly browned.
• Stir occasionally.
• Store in airtight container until you are ready to use.
• To make stuffing: 4 cups croutons to 1 cup water, 1-2 bouillon cubes, and 1-4 T margarine.
• This recipe makes 12 cups croutons, or there about, so if you are making the whole recipe, triple the liquids.
• You may add extra water if it isn't moist enough.
