For the best flavor, use a crusty, stale French bread or baguette. The drier the bread, the better it will absorb the milk. Don't overwork the dough; gentle kneading is all that's needed to bring it together. Serve the Semmelknoedel hot, smothered in your favorite gravy or sauce. They are a delicious accompaniment to roasted meats, poultry, or vegetarian dishes. If you want to add more flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or some chopped herbs like chives or marjoram to the dough.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes. Heat the milk until it's just about to simmer, with tiny bubbles forming around the edges. Pour the hot milk over the bread cubes, stirring gently to coat. Allow the bread to soak up the milk for 15 minutes.
02 Step
Recipe View While the bread is soaking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are softened and translucent. Stir in the fresh parsley, then remove the skillet from the heat. Add the butter and onion mixture to the soaked bread, along with the eggs, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, gently squeeze and knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
03 Step
Recipe View Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. The water should be at least 3 to 4 inches deep to allow the dumplings to cook properly. Once boiling, test the dough by forming a small dumpling, about the size of a tangerine, using wet hands to shape and compact it. Carefully drop the test dumpling into the boiling water. If it falls apart, the dough is too wet; gradually mix in bread crumbs until the dumpling holds its shape.
04 Step
Recipe View With wet hands, form the remaining dough into large dumplings. Gently drop them into the simmering water. Cook for 20 minutes, ensuring the water remains at a gentle simmer. Remove the cooked dumplings with a large slotted spoon and place them on a serving plate. Serve immediately.
