Canederli in Brodo

🌍 Italian, Alto Adige/Trentino Difficulty: ●●●○○

Bread dumplings from the Alto Adige, poached in clear broth. The stale bread must be cut small and soaked in milk until softened. Add just enough flour and egg to bind — overworked canederli turn dense. They should feel light in the mouth despite their size.

Ingredients

• 300g stale bread, cubed
• 150ml milk
• 100g speck, diced
• 2 eggs
• Flour, parsley
• 1L beef or chicken broth

Method

1. Soaking — Soak bread in milk; add eggs, speck, parsley, flour.
2. Shaping — Shape into balls (70g each); refrigerate 30 min.
3. Poaching — Poach in simmering broth 15 min.
