Ingredients

  • 300 g Bread, wheat

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 250 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 0.25 teaspoons Spices, pepper, black

  • 1.5 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 0.5 piece Onion, raw

  • 0.25 bouquet Parsley, fresh

  • 3 spoons Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

Steps

  1. Cut the bread into small cubes and place them in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt using a hand whisk. Pour the mixture over the bread and mix well with a spoon to ensure all the bread cubes are moistened.

  2. Rinse the parsley under running water if necessary, dry it, and finely chop it. Peel the onion and finely chop it. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion until it turns golden brown. Add the parsley and continue to sauté for another minute while stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and let the onion cool.

  3. Transfer the cooled contents from the pan to the bowl with the bread and mix all the ingredients well again. Let it sit for a while so the bread softens and absorbs the milk.

  4. Mix the flour into the mixture. Wet your hands with cold water and shape the dough into dumplings of any desired size.

  5. Place a large pot of salted water on the stove. Once the water boils, gently place the bread dumplings into the water and cook them at a moderate temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to let the water boil too vigorously, as the dumplings may fall apart during cooking.

  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked dumplings from the pot. Serve them in a serving dish or on a plate alongside the prepared main dish.

Advice

Instead of dumplings, you can shape a loaf and wrap it in a kitchen towel that has been evenly sprinkled with breadcrumbs beforehand. After boiling, slice the loaf into two to three-centimeter-thick slices. Bread can be replaced with rolls, and instead of oil, you can use butter.
