Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar for the dough. Mix well.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

2. 2

   Add the lukewarm milk, melted butter, egg, and salt to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

   Aproximativ 10 min.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

   Aproximativ 1 oră

   Nota bucătarului: A slightly warm oven (turned off) can be a good place for rising dough.

5. 5

   Once risen, gently punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

6. 6

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet with a lid, combine the milk, butter, and granulated sugar for the cooking liquid. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

   Aproximativ 3 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Ensure the pot is wide enough to fit all 8 dough balls with some space between them.

7. 7

   Carefully place the dough balls into the simmering liquid in the pot, making sure they are not touching each other or the sides of the pot too much.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

8. 8

   Cover the pot tightly with the lid and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes without lifting the lid. The steam will cook the tops of the rolls while the bottom caramelizes in the liquid.

   Aproximativ 25 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Resist the urge to peek! Lifting the lid releases the steam and can cause the Dampfnudeln to collapse.

9. 9

   After 20-25 minutes, listen for a sizzling sound, indicating that all the liquid has evaporated and the bottoms are caramelizing. Remove from heat.

10. 10

    Carefully remove the lid and serve the Dampfnudeln immediately with vanilla sauce, fruit compote, or powdered sugar.

    Aproximativ 1 min.
