How to make the Bread Gnocchi:
How to make the gnocchi di pane (knodeln): Soften the bread in water or milk. Squeeze it dry. Add the beaten eggs,
flour, Parmigiano and salt to taste. Work into smooth and soft dough.
Shape the dumplings the size of a walnut with wet hands and a teaspoon.
Dip them in flour and place on to a floured sheet pan. Boil gnocchi in plenty salted boiling water and remove from pot with a strainer when
they come to the surface. Cooking time is 4-6 min. depending on the size
of the dumplings.
The favorite sauce is melted butter with the addition
of breadcrumbs and grated Parmigiano. Here several variations are possible
with sauces. Sometimes, gnocchi di pane are served as an
accompaniment to dishes with a rich sauce.
