4 to 5 ounces (6 to 8 slices) stale challah
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Remove any crust from challah if you like. Soak challah slices in a bowl of cold water 5 minutes or until softened. Squeeze challah pieces to remove excess water. Transfer challah to a bowl and mash it with a fork.
Heat oil in a medium skillet. Add onions and celery and sauté over medium-low heat about 7 minutes or until onions begin to turn brown. Add garlic, paprika and thyme. Sauté 10 seconds. Remove from heat.
Add sautéed vegetable mixture and corn to challah and mix well. Let mixture cool 5 minutes.
Add zucchini, carrots, parsley and walnuts to stuffing mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Add egg and mix well. Stuffing should be lightly moistened. If it seems dry, stir in enough broth, by tablespoons, to moisten it.
If you will use mixture to stuff a bird, refrigerate or cool it completely before spooning into the bird.
To bake the stuffing in a dish, grease a 9"-square baking dish. Spoon stuffing into dish. Bake uncovered about 40 minutes or until firm.
Poster's Notes: How to toast nuts: Place nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast them in a 350°F oven about 5 minutes, shaking pan periodically to turn the nuts, until nuts are golden and fragrant.
