Recipe - German Bread Dumplings

Ingredients:
250 g bread dumpling bread or 3 stale rolls
3 eggs
1/8 l milk
parsley
optional: lovage
salt

Preparation:

If you do not have any bread dumpling bread then you need 3 stale rolls. When broken into small pieces they can be used for bread dumplings.

Put bread in a large bowl. Then heat milk and pour over the bread. Let stand for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, set a large pot of water to boil.

Finely chop parsley and lovage (if desired). Add eggs, chopped herbs, and salt to the soaked bread and squeeze and mix well, using your fingers.

Form equal-sized round dumplings and gently slide into the boiling water.

When the dumplings rise to the top, they are finished and can be served.

Tip: Since not all of the dumplings are always eaten at once, it is important that they do not absorb water or they will taste mushy. We serve the bread dumplings in a porcelain bowl and set an upside down saucer of a tea cup in the bottom of the bowl. In this way the water can drain off and the bread dumplings remain firm.
