Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter; set aside.
2. Spread bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until dry and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
3. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and transfer to a large bowl; set aside.Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring rarely, until browned, about 6 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and transfer to the bowl with the bread cubes; set aside.Using a vegetable peeler, peel celery root and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. (Peel and cut the celery root at the last minute, because it will oxidize when exposed to air.) Return the frying pan to medium heat and add butter and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When butter has melted, add celery root, onion, sage, and thyme and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion just begins to soften, about 6 to 8 minutes.
6. Transfer vegetables to the bowl of bread cubes and mushrooms.Evenly drizzle wine around the bowl, add egg, and stir to evenly coat bread cubes and vegetables.
7. Drizzle half of the mushroom broth over the mixture and stir to evenly combine.
8. Drizzle in the remaining broth and stir until all bread cubes are evenly moistened. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
9. Transfer stuffing to the prepared baking dish, slightly compacting it. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
10. Remove foil and continue to bake until bread cubes on top are crispy and browned, about 30 minutes more.
