OLD-COUNTRY CZECH DUMPLINGS
My Czechoslovakian grandmother made these delicious dumplings when I was a child. I thought I'd never taste them again. :( A few years ago while visiting Prague, Czech Republic I discovered they're alive and well! :) You will not be disappointed!!

Steps:
- 1. Mix the first three ingredients, let stand for 10 minutes. Mix the warm milk, egg, salt, yeast mixture and flour. Add the bread cubes. Add more flour, if necessary, until you have an elastic-y type bread dough. Knead the resulting dough just as you would when making bread. Cover with a cloth and let the dough rest in a warm place to rise. It should double in about 2 hours. Knead again and divide into 4-5 sections. Roll each section into a log, each about 1 1/2" thick and 7-8" long. Let rise another 1/2 hour. Drop the logs of dough, one at a time, into a large kettle of boiling water with a tight fitting lid. Boil gently on med-lo for about 10-12 minutes. DO NOT LIFT THE LID!! Remove with slotted spoons and place on a buttered platter. Keep warm by draping a cloth over them. When ready to serve, slice 3/4" thick with a sharp knife.
- 2. Serve these Authentic Czech Dumplings on the botton of a bowl of your favorite soup, paprikash or ghoulash. To die for.
TRADITIONAL CZECH BREAD DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together egg yolks and milk in a separate medium bowl.
- Pour the egg-milk mixture into the bowl with flour.
- Work the dough-with a Danish dough whisk, hands, or a stand mixer with the dough hook-until it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
- Cover and let stand for 1 hour.
- Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a slow boil.
- Work the 4 cups of bread cubes into the batter by hand or in a stand mixer with the dough hook until well incorporated.
- Shape the dough using floured hands into 3 or 4 rolls that are about 8 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide.
- Carefully slip the rolls into the water once it is boiling, giving them a stir so they don't stick. If the pot doesn't comfortably fit all the rolls, boil them in batches.
- Reduce heat, cover, and cook 10 to 15 minutes. Cooking the rolls at a rapid boil can cause them to disintegrate.
- Remove 1 dumpling from the pot using a slotted spoon after 10 minutes of cooking and test for doneness by cutting through the middle of the dumpling with a thread or sharp knife. The dumpling is done when the knife comes out almost clean after slicing it.
- Remove the dumplings one by one when done and slice into 3/4-inch pieces using either a thread or sharp knife. Repeat until all dumplings are removed from the water and sliced.
- Serve warm with gravy and garnish with fresh parsley.

KNEDLIKY - CZECH DUMPLING WITH SAUERKRAUT (ZELI)
This was my grandmothers recipe and it has remained a family favorite... It should be served with roast pork, sauerkraut and a nice glass of beer. A very traditional way to eat the leftover dumplings the next day for breakfast or brunch is to chop them up into cubes, pan fry in a little butter; then add eggs and milk, and cook as if you are making scrambled eggs. It's great.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center, and pour in the eggs and 1 cup of milk. Stir to blend, and add enough additional milk to make a moist battery dough, not like pancake batter. Use a sturdy wooden spoon to beat the dough at least 200 strokes, rolling it over and over in the bowl until smooth and an occasional bubble appears on the surface. Add the dry white bread cubes, and stir into the dough until they disappear.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the dough onto a cheesecloth or white cotton cloth, and form into a loaf shape. Wrap the cloth around the loaf, and tie the ends.
- Place the loaf into the boiling water, and cook for 45 minutes, turning the loaf over about half way through. Remove from the water, unwrap, and cover with a tea towel. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Fry bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Set aside. Place the drained sauerkraut into a saucepan, and add enough water to cover the surface. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add bacon, and season with salt, pepper and caraway seeds. Stir together the cornstarch and water; mix into the sauerkraut, and simmer for a few minutes before removing from the heat.
- Slice the dumpling loaf. Drizzle dumpling slices with some of the roast drippings from the pan. Serve with sauerkraut.

TRADITIONAL KNEDLICKY (CZECH POTATO DUMPLINGS)
My grandmother taught me this recipe, and she learned it from her mother, who learned it from her mother, etc. I come from a solid Czech/German background, and this is one of my favorite Czech foods. It's really easy, and very filling.

Steps:
- Fill a large soup pot (not sauce pan, too small) about half full of water and bring to a boil.
- Using just your hands, knead together equal amounts mashed potatoes and flour in a bowl until it forms a dough.
- Form dough into baseball/tennis ball sized balls.
- Carefully, so as not to splash, drop dumplings one at a time into boiling water. Do not over crowd pot. You only want a single layer of dumplings.
- The dumplings will sink to the bottom.
- Bring water back to a boil and then simmer.
- When the dumplings begin to float they're done. Don't take them out of the water right away, let them float for about 5 minutes before removing them.
- Remove finished dumplings from water with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl or on a serving plate.
- Serve alongside any kind of roast and top with gravy or butter and salt and pepper. Yum!
- Leftovers can be cut up into bite-sized pieces.

CZECH BREAD DUMPLINGS (KNEDLíKY)
I'm very excited to be showing you my take on knedlíky. It's easy, fun to make, and incredibly comforting. If you're a fan of dumplings, especially ones that are extraordinarily good at soaking up gravy, you'll want to add these to the rotation. Serve hot with gravy.

Steps:
- Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit and bloom for about 10 minutes.
- Add egg and kosher salt to the yeast mixture. Pour in 2 ¾ cups flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and forms a dough.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and slightly elastic, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, flipping the dough to coat the top in oil. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Transfer back to your work surface; press out the excess air and form dough into a relatively uniform ball.
- Cut dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a uniform ball. Roll each ball into a tube, 2 to 2 ½ inches wide.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let proof for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a steady simmer.
- Carefully pick up a risen piece of dough and transfer to the simmering water. Bring back to a simmer. Cover tightly and let simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, flip, and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and poke all over with a toothpick or wooden skewer, which releases the steam from the center.
- Use a piece of string or thread to cut into 3/4- to 1-inch dumplings. Transfer to a serving plate.
- Repeat Steps 9 to 11 to cook remaining dough.
