Love these dumplings! So much flavor. We went to Germany and after having bread dumplings in a restaurant I searched and searched for a recipe. This is it! Yummy!

Haven't made them yet but will very soon! My paternal grandmother was from Osterhofen and always made these with roast pork and steamed apples! Not sure what I will serve 'em with though as I have been vegetarian for oodles of years now...I am sure O Mommy would not have approved ;)

Love this recipe! For a heartier version, I add about 3 heaping tablespoons of whatever leftover meat I have pre-cooked in the fridge (chicken, bacon, ham, beef, pork...) Just make sure not to add too much or the bread balls can fall apart. YUM!

Just like my grandma used to make! I have made these several times now. I also like to make the dumplings smaller (I make 8 instead of 4) and cook them on the top of a simmering soup, covering the pot in the last 10 minutes. You really need to use stale bread for best results. I have tried many different breads and potato bread does NOT work! Wheat bread is also iffy. Stick with any stale white bread and you will love these!

I grew up in Germany and used to eat these things all of the time. Great recipe. They are not the same unless you caramelize some unions and add over the top. It adds some sweetness as well as moisture. Thanks for this great recipe!

My mother is from Munich and she uses the left over dumplings in 2 different ways. One - she cuts them in half, slices them into 1/4" slices and then pan fries them in butter until lightly browned. Serve along side any meat dish. Two - do the same cut as above, add water to a large bowl, add cider vinegar to taste until you get the tartness you like and then add salt to taste. In the bowl, add the sliced dumplings along with 1/2 moon thin sliced onions. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Serve cold. The dumplings take on the vinegar taste and these are what I looked forward to when it was dumpling day.

These are very similar to the Serviettenknodel my mother and Oma used to make. They didn't use onion, but did add a pinch of nutmeg to the seasoned cubed bread and sprinkled a handful of flour over the bowl and let it sit to dry for a few hours. They added the milk and egg mixture, and either formed orange sized dumplings, or tightly tied the whole thing into a large white linen napkin, or servietten. Then simmered it in salted water for about 1/2 hr. on both sides (turn it over in the water). You could always tell when it was done because it would give a nice hollow sound when thumped with a spoon. We let it rest a bit on a platter, then slice it and serve with pork roast and sauerkraut, and of course the pan drippings from the roast. Delicious!! Thanks for the recipe!

Mine fell apart in the water - I actually used beef broth instead of water to cook them in. I missed the step that said add more bread and pulled it out and made it in to stuffing. Still received rave reviews from my German friends.

My husband is slovak and grew up with his grandma making these. I was a bit weary of how this would turn out..But he loved it the kids loved it too. I omitted the onions since my husband doesnt care for onions..flavor was a bit too bland for me but he really liked it. I will be making this again.
