These are spongy bread dumplings which are the perfect accompaniment to goulash.
I wasn't happy with my old recipe so on Sunday I tried this one, and it was really nice.
1 pkg dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar
1/3 cup warm milk
1 egg
2 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp salt (use less if using salted butter)
About 2 or 2 1/2 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and let rise about 10 minutes. Warm milk slightly on stove, add in butter. Remove from heat. Mix in egg and salt. Add the milk mixture to the yeast. Now add flour, kneading well with hands and adding more flour if necessary for a firm dough. Cover and let rise 1 hour in warm place.
Punch down dough and cut into six portions. Form a ball with each portion and place in a steamer. Let rise for about 20-30 minutes. Then steam for 15-20 minutes. Do not lift cover while steaming. Serve warm with gravy.
