Advice

Instead of bread rolls, you can also use day-old bread. You can omit the bacon if you want less calorie-dense dumplings. Instead of balls, you can shape a loaf and wrap it in a kitchen towel that has been evenly sprinkled with breadcrumbs beforehand. Cook the loaf and slice it into rings about two to three centimeters thick.
