Croatian bread dumplings

It is usual side dish we eat with sauerkraut, “sekeli goulash” or other meat goulash or paprikas recipes. It is very easy. This is recipe from Cooking High School from Zagreb, Second year. I have added parmesan because my experience says it will coagulate better and would prevent eventual crumbling while cooking.

Ingredients

1000 grams Bread white

800 ml 2% Milk

200 grams All purpose flour

6 Eggs

120 grams pancetta

20 grams Fresh parsley chopped

35 grams Butter

50 grams Bread crumbs

30 ml Oil or 10 g lard

80 grams Finely chopped onions

30 grams Parmesan grated

20 grams Salt


Directions

Remove crust from bread. Cut the rest of bread into small cubes and dry them in oven. They must become crunchy. Make dough mixing milk, flour, eggs, parmesan and salt. Pour over crunchy bread. Finely mince onion. Cut bacon into small pieces and fry them but not too much. Bacon will drain some lard, so add oil and sauté onion until becomes translucent. Add parsley leaves and bacon and put it into dough. Mix well and leave at least half an hour in refrigerator. Make balls with your hand. To do it better, put your hands in cold water before you form each ball. Put balls into boiling water and cook about 20 minutes. The balls must float, that is the indication they are done. Cook until the toothpick can easily go through the ball. Before serving fry in a frying pan some breadcrumbs on butter. Put bread balls on hot butter just for few seconds to cover them with breadcrumbs
