With National Stuffing Day just around the corner on November 21st, there’s no better time to put a cannabis-infused twist on this traditional side dish. If you’re a cannabis enthusiast looking to elevate your holiday meals, THC-infused bread stuffing is an exciting way to blend comfort food with a relaxing cannabis experience. This innovative take on stuffing offers all the flavors you love, with the added benefit of THC.
In this blog, we’ll show you how to prepare THC-infused bread for stuffing and suggest some delicious dishes, like stuffed chicken breasts with gravy, that pair beautifully with this cannabis-infused side.
What Is THC-Infused Bread Stuffing?
At its core, stuffing is a seasoned bread mixture commonly served alongside meats or stuffed inside poultry. THC-infused stuffing takes this classic dish to a whole new level by incorporating bread made with cannabis-infused butter or oil. This allows you to enjoy the delicious taste of stuffing with the added effects of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis.
Using THC-infused bread to make stuffing is an easy way to include cannabis in your holiday or comfort meals without the need for sugary or heavy edibles like brownies or gummies. Plus, the savory flavors of stuffing blend seamlessly with the earthy undertones of cannabis.
How to Make THC-Infused Bread for Stuffing
Making THC-infused bread is similar to preparing regular homemade bread, but with the addition of cannabis-infused butter (cannabutter) or oil. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- ¼ cup cannabis-infused butter or olive oil (adjust dosage based on preference)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and THC-infused butter or oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Once your THC-infused bread has cooled, you can tear it into pieces and dry it out to create the perfect base for your cannabis-infused stuffing.
