Pour the warm milk over the bread cubes and let them soak for 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to soften completely.

Gently mix all ingredients together by hand until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can make the knödel tough.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: The mixture should be moist but firm enough to form into balls. If too wet, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash more milk.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil).
Około 5 min

With wet hands, form the mixture into 8-10 uniform balls, about 5-6 cm in diameter.

Simmer the knödel for 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. You can test one by cutting it open to ensure it's cooked in the center.
