Bairische Dampfnudeln, No. 1 Recipe

Bairische Dampfnudeln, also known as Bavarian steamed dumplings, is a traditional German dish that is popular in the Bavarian region. These fluffy dumplings are made using a yeast dough and are typically served hot with vanilla sauce. In this recipe, we will guide you through the process of making delicious Bairische Dampfnudeln from scratch.

History and Fun Facts:
Bairische Dampfnudeln have a long history in Bavarian cuisine and are believed to have originated in the early 19th century. They were traditionally prepared by peasants and served as a frugal yet satisfying meal. The dumplings were cooked using the steam generated from a small amount of liquid, making them soft and fluffy.

One interesting fact about Bairische Dampfnudeln is that they are often enjoyed as a main course rather than a dessert in Bavaria. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various savory accompaniments such as sauerkraut or bacon.

Now, let's move on to the recipe!

Bairische Dampfnudeln, No. 1 Recipe:

Ingredients:
- 1 cake of compressed yeast
- 1 cup of lukewarm milk
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 pint of flour (plus extra for kneading)
- 1 small cup of milk
- 1 egg
- Butter for greasing
- Vanilla sauce for serving

Instructions:

1. Begin by soaking the cake of compressed yeast in a cup of lukewarm milk. Add a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt to the milk and yeast mixture. Stir well and set aside.

2. Sift a pint of flour into a large mixing bowl. In the same bowl, stir in a small cup of milk and one egg. Mix everything together until well combined.

3. Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture. Thoroughly work all the ingredients together, gradually adding more flour as needed. Be careful not to make the dough too stiff. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.

4. Cover the bowl of dough and allow it to rise until it doubles in size. This process will take at least four hours, so be patient.

5. Once the dough has risen, flour a baking board or clean surface. Transfer the dough onto the floured surface and knead it lightly. Then, shape small biscuits out of the dough.

6. Place the shaped dumplings onto a baking sheet and allow them to rise for at least 30 minutes.

7. While the dumplings are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a large, round, deep baking pan.

8. Once the dumplings have risen, transfer them to the buttered baking pan, brushing each one with melted butter as you do so.

9. Pour enough milk into the pan to reach halfway up the dumplings. This will create steam during baking.

10. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the dumplings until they turn a light golden brown. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.

11. Once the dumplings are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the Bairische Dampfnudeln hot, accompanied by a generous serving of vanilla sauce.
