Categories     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Stuffing/Dressing     Apple

Yield 14 cups

Number Of Ingredients 17

1-lb. loaf sourdough or peasant-style bread
2 cups raw wild rice
2 tsp. plus 1 Tbs. salt
3 Tbs. olive oil
2 medium (4-oz.) onions, cut into small dice (1-1/2 cups)
4 large ribs celery, cut into small dice (1-1/2 cups)
2 small cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 Tbs. chopped fresh sage

2 Tbs. butter
1 Tbs. sugar
1-2/3 cups apple cider
4 large eggs
3/4 cup homemade or low-salt canned chicken broth
1/2 recipe Spiced Pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Two days ahead: Trim the crust from the bread and cut the remainder into 1/2-inch dice to get 6 cups. Spread the bread on baking sheets to dry overnight. One day ahead: In a large pot, combine the wild rice, 6 cups water, and 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook until tender and the kernels start to open, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain if necessary, and spread out to cool on a baking sheet. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, sauté 4 minutes; add the celery and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the herbs, pepper, and 1 Tbs. salt. Cool in a shallow dish. Meanwhile, peel, core, and dice the apples. Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil and 2 Tbs. butter. When the butter sizzles, add the apples and sprinkle in the sugar. Sauté until the apples begin to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add 2/3 cup of the cider (reserve the rest), scrape up any brown bits, and let the cider reduce for 1 min. Pour the apples and liquid into the onion mixture and let cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the rice, bread, and apple mixture. Refrigerate. On the day of serving: Bring the stuffing to room temperature. Mix the eggs, 1 cup cider, and chicken broth. Fold the liquid into the stuffing mixture and mix well. It will be fairly wet. Fold in the spiced pecans. Follow the directions for stuffing the turkey and baking the extra stuffing in a pan in the Roasted Turkey recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh wild rice and other ingredients will give your bread the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh wild rice, you can use frozen or dried wild rice, but be sure to soak it according to the package directions before using it.
  • Measure your ingredients carefully: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Be sure to use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, especially the flour and water.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop. If you're not sure if the dough is mixed enough, err on the side of caution and mix it less rather than more.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This will usually take about 1-2 hours. You can place the dough in a warm oven, or you can simply place it in a warm corner of your kitchen.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: The bread should be baked at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius) for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Conclusion:

Wild rice bread is a delicious and unique bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new bread recipe to try, I highly recommend giving wild rice bread a try.
