Great flavor, but I think it's essential to toast the sesame seeds (on a cookie sheet for 10 min at 350 degrees) before rolling dough. I ground 2 tbsp anise seed in place of the extract, and next time I will use at least 2.5 or 3 tbsp.

I've been making a similar recipe for years, and it is always a huge hit! This stuffing is a really great way to use up extra stale bread. I usually add chopped carrots as well, and sometimes chopped dates, raisins, and apricots instead of cranberries (whatever i have on hand); soaking the chopped dried fruit in boiling water for a few minutes really plumps them up. I use fresh herbs whenever possible, and to really bring out their flavour, simmer the herbs with the stock/butter mix before adding to the rest.

Cheap to make, simple to put together, couldn't ask for more really. Next time I might try to up the flavor with a little chili or ginger.
