BOHEMIAN RAISED DUMPLINGS



Bohemian Raised Dumplings image

I ate these as a child and thought that all dumplings were raised like a yeast dough. But learned otherwise. These are almost a cross between a bread and a bagel. But they were used instead of a pasta or bread with our meals.

Categories     Pasta     Dinner     Boil

Yield 8 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour, sifted with a pinch of baking powder
4 slices white bread, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 55 mins 1. Beat eggs, salt& milk in a large mixing bowl; add flour gradually. 2. Continue beating with a large spoon (the dough must be smooth& stiff enough to hold its shape). 3. Stir in bread cubes last. 4. Have a clean, wet towel ready. 5. Shape the dough with wet hands into an oblong, roll in a towel& drop into a large kettle of salted boiling water. 6. Boil, covered, for 45 minutes. 7. Remove the towel& slice the dumpling 1/2 inch thick (if not sliced immediately, the steam cannot escape& the dumplings will be soggy& hard). 8. Keep hot until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your dumplings. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your dumplings tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rest: After mixing the dough, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will help the dough become more elastic and easier to work with.
  • Boil the dumplings in salted water: Salting the water will help to flavor the dumplings and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When boiling the dumplings, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately: Bohemian dumplings are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served with a variety of sauces, such as gravy, sour cream, or melted butter.
