Bavarian Semmelknoedel (Bread Dumplings) Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 hard french-style rolls (one loaf French bread); at least one day old
2 eggs, whisked
1 cup whole milk, scalded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 handful fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • NOTE: You want to be sure that the bread is "stale" by at least one day. Slice the bread into 1/4 inch thickness. In a large bowl, add the bread slices, whisked egg, fresh parsley and kosher salt. Scald the milk to be very hot, but not boiling. Pour that over the bread mixture, cover with a towel or lid and allow to soak for a few minutes. When the milk has cooled to be a safe temperature for your hands, mix the bread mixture until clumped together. Don't over mix, though! You want all of the ingredients to bind together. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more scalding milk. With wet hands, form into six balls. Chill for 15 to 30 minutes (or overnight). In a pot of salted boiling water, cook for 15 to 20 minutes. This makes a perfect side dish with a stew that has a rich gravy. For leftover dumplings, slice like cooked potatoes. Fry in some bacon and onion, until lightly browned and pour a whisked egg over. Delicious! NOTE: Some people said that their dumplings fell apart in the water, which has never happened to me. When forming the balls, I squeeze the wet bread mixture a bit to firm it up, and roll them together with a firm touch. It's sort of like making meatballs, if you've ever done that. By chilling them, I make sure that everything binds together well.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the dumplings turned out a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

These dumplings were easy to make and had a good flavor. However, they were a bit too dense for my liking.

Good basic recipe. I added some chopped fresh herbs and grated cheese to the dumplings for extra flavor.

The dumplings were a bit dry for my taste, but overall they were still good. I think I would add a little more milk or broth next time.

These bread dumplings are a great way to use up leftover bread. They are easy to make and very versatile. I like to serve them with gravy or soup, but they are also good on their own.

I've tried making bread dumplings before, but they always turned out dry and tasteless. This recipe was a game-changer! The dumplings were incredibly moist and flavorful, thanks to the addition of milk, eggs, and butter. Highly recommended!

These bread dumplings were an absolute delight! They were incredibly soft and fluffy, without being dense or crumbly. The flavor was perfectly balanced, with a subtle hint of nutmeg and a lovely golden crust.
