Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting your rustic or sourdough bread into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch, and let them dry slightly for 30 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried bread cubes with the dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Add sautéed onions and diced celery, incorporating fresh herbs. Toss together until evenly distributed.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth gradually, stirring to ensure each bread cube is moistened. The mixture should feel slightly damp but not soggy.
  4. Transfer the mixture into your slow cooker, spreading it out evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for about 4 hours.
  5. Before serving, taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Stir gently and prepare to serve.
