Cut the rolls (5 pretzels are also possible) into small cubes. If you like, you can then toast them in butter until light yellow, but this is optional. Mix the flour, salt, milk, and eggs and beat like spaetzle dough until it bubbles. Stir in the breadcrumbs. Let it rest for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Then use a large spoon to scoop out dumplings and form them. Add them to plenty of boiling salted water, bring quickly back to a boil, then let them rest uncovered for 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of the dumplings). Serve with hot butter or browned breadcrumbs. Not necessary for dishes with sauce. Notes: Feel free to add parsley or wild garlic to the dough. Leftover dumplings are delicious sliced ​​and fried the next day.
