This is a bohemian side dish.

Usually serves with gulash but goes really well with any kind of stew.

You use cubed dried white bread rolls and eggs and milk and butter and then shape it together in a cloth napkin and cook that.

You can slice it and fry it a little to make the slices crunchy.

I love how the literal translation of the name is "napkin dumpling" lmaooo

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Because it’s made by rolling the dough in cloth.

Lol I almost wrote napkin dumpling in the title but I thought it would be too weird

Looks like a big sausage.

Just an observation. I want to try this, looks good!

How is it fried? Looks interesting.

You wrap the whole thing in a cloth and close it up with thread like a bonbon and Cook that cloth.

Then you slice it and fry the slices in oil or butter

I'll take progress pics the next time I do one. But there's a lot of recipes if you look for "serviettenknödel"

Here in Czechia we call them houskový knedlík and we don’t fry them at all.

And I would say it is most typically served with svíčková na smetaně and other sauce based dishes (we have so many!) but it is also one of the usual sides for gulash.

Nice. Try to fry a slice some time, also goes great with an egg poured over it after frying

Looks really good! It's like the German bread dumplings I make by spooning the dough into boiling water. I love them. Making a big roll out of it and slicing it is an interesting way of doing it.

Is it cooked at all before slicing?

[–] turkelton 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You probably mean the semolina dumplings- the bread ones are formed into balls by Hand.

[–] CrayonRosary 4 points 1 year ago

Hand, spoons, whichever. I don't necessarily do it traditionally, but the ingredients are are just bread, eggs, milk, herbs, and seasonings.
