Authentic Bavarian Semmel Knoedel (Bread Dumplings)


1. Slice the rolls into 1/4-inch thickness.

2. Place slices into a large bowl and pour the warm milk over; let soak for 10 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the parsley and season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

4. Pour parsley mixture into bread/milk mixture and knead together, then wet your hands and form the dough into four round dumplings.

5. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

6. Place dumplings carefully into the water and simmer (do not boil) for 15 minutes, until done.

7. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon into a colander to drain.

8. Serve with stew or goulash or gravy.

9. Note: You can make Bretzen Knoedel (Bavarian Pretzel Dumplings) by substituting about 2 cups of soft pretzels (large, soft bakery style), for the French rolls.
