Notes
You can add any vegetables of you choice. Apples and pears can be included along with dry fruits.
Sage is usually used in the bread stuffing, but you can replace it with the herbs that you have in hand.
I used butter milk bread, any sour dough bread or baguette can be used.
Adjust salt and pepper as per your preference.
You can bake this by covering it for first 20 minutes and then bake again uncovered.
Instead of store-bought vegetable broth, home-made can be used.
