VIDEO: Cooking bread dumplings in a steamer

Advantage of preparing bread dumplings with steam

• The classic preparation of dumplings from bread or bread cubes is in steam. It used to be common practice to tie the napkin dumplings to the handles of the pot and cook them in the steam. Only later did the dough changed by adding flour that he im water could be cooked floating.
• Bread dumplings disintegrate easily in water, especially if you let it boil too vigorously or if you did not allow the dough to swell sufficiently. This problem does not exist in the steamer.
• The idea that bread dumplings taste bland in the steamer because they cannot absorb the salt from the cooking water is wrong. The cooking water is salted so that it cannot wash the salt out of the dumpling dough. Steam doesn't wash out salt, so this fear is unfounded.
