Instructions

- Bake for 30 minutes and then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes to brown the top.
- Garnish with the chopped hazelnuts and serve.
Notes
I usually like to save some time by using a mix for the bread. My personal favorite is the Simple Mills Artisan Bread. It is really fast to make and incredibly delicious. Feel free to use any of your favorite bread though. You may need to adjust the amount of stock. Sometimes it can need a little more if stuffing is too dry.
