Houskové Knedlíky

Ingredients

  • 250 g Coarse Flour
  • 180 ml Milk
  • 7 g Instant Yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 2 pcs Egg Yolks
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 pcs White Rolls
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Parsley

Method

  1. Warm {milk} in a small saucepan over low heat until just lukewarm, then whisk in {instant_yeast}, {sugar}, and a little {salt} until dissolved and lightly foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine {coarse_flour} with {egg_yolks}, then pour in the yeast mixture and mix into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Fold in {white_rolls} and {parsley}, seasoning with the remaining {salt}.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled and airy.
  4. With damp hands, shape the risen dough into a smooth long log on a lightly floured surface so it cooks evenly and keeps a tender crumb.
  5. Bring a wide pot of well-salted water to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the dumpling, lower to a steady simmer, and cook until puffed and cooked through, turning once halfway.
  6. Lift out the dumpling, brush with melted {butter}, then slice with taut thread while hot so the crumb stays light and uncompressed. Finish with {parsley} if using.
