HOUSKOVE KNEDLIKY - CZECHOSLOVAKIAN BREAD DUMPLINGS
Posted in response to a recipe request. These hearty, dense dumplings are just wonderful served in melted real butter or with brown gravy. A variation might include stuffing them with minced mushrooms and onions sautéed in butter before boiling or forming them into balls instead of cylinders.

BOHEMIAN-CZECH BREAD DUMPLINGS RECIPE - HOUSKOVE KNEDLIKY
Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons butter and toast bread cubes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet and saute onions until lightly browned. Transfer to a large bowl and combine with flour, bacon, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Add milk and knead lightly until a soft dough forms. Fold in the reserved bread cubes and form into 2 oblong logs. Bring water and salt to a simmer in a pan or skillet large enough to accommodate the logs, and with enough water to just cover the dumplings. Carefully place the dumplings into the water and simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes, turning once using two slotted spoons or spatulas. Remove dumplings with two slotted spoons and place on paper towels to drain. While still hot, cut the dumplings into 3/4-inch widths. Czechs use a thread to slice their dumplings. You also can use unflavored dental floss or piano wire! Serve with lots of gravy.
