INGREDIENTS:
3 cups white flour 3 cups semolina 1 whole egg
1 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup milk or so 1 tsp salt
1/2 a french stick, cubed



1 Mix the flour, semolina, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and break in the egg. Mix in some of the milk and salt, and then start mixing in the flour. Work the dough quite hard with a wooden spoon, adding a little more milk if necessary, till bubbles begin to form (about 10 minutes). Add some of the cubed bread and keep mixing. Keep adding bread until the dough is fairly saturated with it.
2 Plop the dough out onto a floured board or table. Divide the dough up into four pieces. Shape the pieces of dough into loaves by rolling them with your hands.
3 Bring a large pot of salted water to a rapid boil. Put in two of the dumplings and let cook for 12 minutes, then flip them over and cook for 13 minutes.
4 Remove the dumplings from the water and place on a cutting board. Take a long piece of sewing thread, slide it under one of the dumplings about 1/2", then wrap it around the top of the dumpling and pull tight: you should have an even cut and a tender slice of dumpling. Continue cutting this way, placing the sliced dumplings in a covered serving bowl to keep warm.
