Bread Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Place the bread cubes into a large bowl. Heat the milk until it starts to bubble at the edges, then pour it over the bread cubes. Stir briefly to coat the bread. Let soak for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until tender. Stir in the parsley, and remove from the heat. Mix into the bowl with the bread along with the eggs, salt and pepper. Use your hands, squeezing the dough through your fingers until it is smooth and sticky.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. The water should be at least 3 or 4 inches deep. When the water is boiling, make a test dumpling about the size of a small orange or tangerine, by patting and cupping between wet hands. Gently drop into the boiling water. If it falls apart, the dough is too wet. In this case, stir some bread crumbs into the rest of the dumpling batter.
• Form the remaining dough into large dumplings, and carefully drop into the boiling water. Simmer for 20 minutes, then remove to a serving plate with a large slotted spoon. They should come out soft, spongy and delicious!

Steps:

• For the goulash: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the beef all over in batches until deep brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the onions and cook, scraping up any meat bits from the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, garlic and a pinch of salt and saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika, tomato paste and caraway and stir to combine; cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef back to the pan, then add the broth, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is tender and can be broken down with a spoon but still maintains its shape, about 2 hours.
• For the bread dumplings: Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, cheese and scallions to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the flour mixture. Let the dumpling mixture sit for 15 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a 1/3-cup ice cream scoop, form firmly packed balls of the dumpling mixture. Add them to the pot and boil until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Spoon the goulash into bowls and add a dumpling or two to each. Top with chopped parsley or scallions if desired.

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Add beaten egg.
• Add the lukewarm water and mix well with wooden spoon.
• Add bread.
• Mix well and roll into oblong dumplings.
• Place into boiling water, cover and cook about 20 minutes, stirring once.
• (We just used two teaspoons to drop pieces of dough into the water without shaping them first, and it worked fine).

Steps:

• Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit and bloom for about 10 minutes.
• Add egg and kosher salt to the yeast mixture. Pour in 2 ¾ cups flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and forms a dough.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and slightly elastic, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, flipping the dough to coat the top in oil. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Transfer back to your work surface; press out the excess air and form dough into a relatively uniform ball.
• Cut dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a uniform ball. Roll each ball into a tube, 2 to 2 ½ inches wide.
• Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let proof for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a steady simmer.
• Carefully pick up a risen piece of dough and transfer to the simmering water. Bring back to a simmer. Cover tightly and let simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, flip, and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a plate and poke all over with a toothpick or wooden skewer, which releases the steam from the center.
• Use a piece of string or thread to cut into 3/4- to 1-inch dumplings. Transfer to a serving plate.
• Repeat Steps 9 to 11 to cook remaining dough.

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt, 4 eggs, baking powder & milk together until you have stiff dough.
• When mixed well, add the cubed bread.
• Form into 2 dumplings.
• Boil in a large pot of water or broth for 30 minutes.
• Cool & slice into ¾ inches slices
• Melt ¼ cup butter in a skillet on med-low heat.
• Add the sliced dumplings & chopped onion.
• Season with salt & pepper or to taste.
• Fry until a light golden brown.
• If desired, pour the 6 well-beaten eggs over & cook until eggs are set -- stir very little.(I prefer them with a nice gravy poured over, instead of the eggs!).

Steps:

• Chop stale bread rolls in smallish cubes.
• Melt butter in a pan and add chopped onion and parsley. Let fry until translucent.
• Mix eggs, milk, sour cream, salt and nutmeg.
• Transfer butter, onion and parsley mixture to bread crumbs. Do the same with the milk - sour cream mixture.
• Adjust salt to taste.
• Let Knödel-dough rest for about 15 minutes.
• Then form a Ø 2-3 inch roll and wrap in heat resistant cellophane (looks like a sausage).
• Additionally wrap in aluminium foil and put in a pot with simmering water.
• Let simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Unwrap and cut in half-inch thick slices.
• (If you prefer dumplings add 50g flour to the dough, form medium sized dumplings and simmer in boiling water for about 20-25 minutes).

Steps:

• Beat eggs, salt& milk in a large mixing bowl; add flour gradually.
• Continue beating with a large spoon (the dough must be smooth& stiff enough to hold its shape).
• Stir in bread cubes last.
• Have a clean, wet towel ready.
• Shape the dough with wet hands into an oblong, roll in a towel& drop into a large kettle of salted boiling water.
• Boil, covered, for 45 minutes.
• Remove the towel& slice the dumpling 1/2 inch thick (if not sliced immediately, the steam cannot escape& the dumplings will be soggy& hard).
• Keep hot until ready to serve.
