Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Arrange the cubed bread in an even layer on baking sheets, and dry in the oven for 30 minutes or until crisp.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion, celery, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cook the onions and celery (stirring) until slightly softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly mist a 3.5-quart baking dish with non-stick spray.
Transfer the dry bread cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Add the cooked vegetables, stock, melted butter, sage, poultry seasoning, remaining salt, and pepper, and toss everything together until well-combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake for 1 hour, or until heated through and slightly browned and crisp around the edges.
