Step 1: Bread ... Cut the bread into 1/2" cubes. I bake the cubes for 30-40 minutes in a 200 degree oven on a sheet pan to dry out the cubes. This can easily be done 1-2 days in advance - and even frozen. Add the dried bead cubes to a large bowl.
Step 2: Base ... Add the olive oil to a medium saute pan on medium high heat and add the celery, carrots and onion; and cook 2-3 minutes. Then add in the mushrooms and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until all the vegetables are tender. Add in the butter.
Step 3: Finish ... Add the sauteed vegetables to the bread cubes along with the caraway seeds, parsley, dill, salt and pepper.
Step 4: Bake ... Transfer the stuffing to a baking dish sprayed with a non-stick spray. Bake on the middle shelf at 350, covered for 20 minutes. Then uncover and bake another 15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve ... ENJOY!
