Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 stale vegan bread rolls
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the stale vegan bread rolls into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
Warm the unsweetened almond milk slightly, then pour it over the bread cubes and add the flax egg.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the onions to the bread mixture.
Stir in nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.
Using your hands, gently combine all the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
With wet hands, shape the dough into small, round dumplings, roughly the size of a golf ball.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully place the dumplings into the water, ensuring they don’t stick to the bottom.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the dumplings for about 12-15 minutes or until they float to the surface and are firm to touch.
Remove the dumplings carefully with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel.
Serve the Vegan Bread Dumplings warm, alongside your favorite vegan gravy or as part of a hearty plant-based meal.
