Bread Variant

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for the cooking water
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 10 slices white bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps

1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
2. Whisk together egg yolks and milk in a separate medium bowl.
3. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the bowl with flour.
4. Work the dough with a whisk, hands, or a dough hook until it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.
5. Cover and let stand for 1 hour
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a slow boil
7. Work the 4 cups of bread cubes into the batter by hand or in a stand mixer with the dough hook until well incorporated.
8. Shape the dough using floured hands into 3 or 4 rolls that are about 8 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide.
9. Carefully slip the rolls into the water once it is boiling, giving them a stir so they don’t stick. If the pot doesn’t comfortably fit all the rolls, boil them in batches.
10. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 10 to 15 minutes. Cooking the rolls at a rapid boil can cause them to disintegrate.
