Ingredients

  • 8 cups (1⁄2-inch pieces) gluten-free sliced bread
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided, plus additional for oiling
  • 2 large Anjou pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces
  • 1⁄4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 3⁄4 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1⁄4 cup low-sodium chicken stock

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 275°. Oil a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and set aside. 
  2. Spread bread pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large pan set over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add pears and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Stir in cinnamon. Transfer pears to a plate and set aside.
  4. Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a clean pan. Add celery, onion, sage, and rosemary. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Stir in parsley and pecans.
  5. Transfer toasted bread pieces to a large bowl. Add pears and celery-pecan mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Slowly stir in stock, making sure it completely absorbs into bread cubes.
