  1. Spread the bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes until dry but not browned.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet. Sauté diced onion and celery for 5 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms; cook for 7–8 minutes until tender. Stir in garlic and herbs; cook for 1–2 minutes.
