Once cooked, remove the dumplings and slice them. The best way to do this is with a piece of thread — it won't crush them.
Tip
The water should be lukewarm, not hot, so you don't damage the yeast. The stale bread roll is a key ingredient that gives the dumplings their characteristic texture.
Common mistake
Don't lift the lid unnecessarily while steaming — you'll let the steam escape.
Serving suggestion
These dumplings go great with pork goulash, beef goulash, and other meat sauces. Slice them with a thread so they don't get squashed.
