Instructions

1. Spread the ciabatta cubes on baking sheets and leave them at room temperature for 24 hours to dry out.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
3. Heat the broth in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
4. Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until nearly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the carrots, celery and red onion, season with the salt, and cook, stirring often, about 4 more minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the bacon is crispy. Remove from the heat and stir in the chestnuts, rosemary and radicchio.
5. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the vegetable mixture, olive oil and 1 cup of the Parmesan until well combined. Add the warm broth and toss again until the bread is evenly moistened.
6. Pour into the prepared dish, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan, dot with the butter and cover with foil. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
7. Uncover and bake about 20 more minutes until browned and crispy on top and hot throughout.
