This very old dish is prepared using dried bread. Since the ancient farmers couldn't get fresh bread every day, they needed to find a way to make use of the dry, old bread, and therefore came up with this recipe. There are multiple ways of serving the dumplings. Some examples include cheese dumplings, spinach dumplings, served with butter or also with goulash. In the winter, they are often served in a soup. And don't cut them with a knife!
