Instructions
Prepare a day ahead: cut loaf into one inch slices. Leave out to go slightly stale. Alternatively you can give the loaf into slices and bake to toast. You want dry crunchy bread, not moist. Cut crusty slices into one inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Add onion, celery, garlic and seasonings minus pepper. Stir and cook uncovered until onions are translucent and tender. Melt remaining butter, set aside.
Pour onion mixture, butter and broth over bread cubes. Sprinkle with pepper. Toss and stir gently until the seasonings are dispersed throughout and each bread cube is just moist from the butter and broth.
Bake for 40 minutes covered and an additional 15-20 minutes for a crunchy top. Serve warm.
