Bohemian bread dumplings from Grandma Doris

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 roll from the day before
  • 250 g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp salt, maybe more
  • ½ cube of fresh yeast
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp, levelled sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 45 minutes

Mix the milk with the water and heat to lukewarm. Cut the bread roll into cubes. Place the flour in a large bowl. Add the baking powder and mix well with the flour. Make a well in the center of the flour and crumble in the yeast. Sprinkle the sugar over the yeast and pour a splash of the warm milk mixture over it. Mix the milk mixture and yeast with a fork until a thick paste forms. Sprinkle flour from the edges over the dough and let it rest for about 1/2 hour. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a fork. Then mix the ingredients with the dough hook, adding the remaining water mixture and the beaten eggs. Add salt and knead the dough until it is less sticky. Finally, add the bread cubes and stir in. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for another 1/2 hour. Once the dough has risen well, knead it again and form 2 dough balls. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and place the dough balls in the boiling water. Bring the water to a boil with the dumplings and simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Then turn the dumplings over and let them rest for another 5 minutes. Then remove the dumplings from the water and cut them into approximately 1 cm thick slices. I do this with a thin string.
