Semmelknoedel are totally easy.

Ingredients:

baguette (or similar buns)
milk
egg
fresh parsley
salt
pepper

for ~6 knoedel:
1. If you buy the baguette fresh, let it rest on the counter 1 day so it dries up a bit, then cut it into fine strips/small cubes
2. Put about 250 g in a bowl
3. cut the fresh parsley finely
3. Heat up ~250 ml milk, pour into the bowl and cover with a kitchen cloth, let rest for 10 minutes
4. add 1 large whole egg, the fresh parsley, salt and pepper
5. knead with your hands until it is a sticky dough
6. form ~6 round dumplings and set aside on a plate
7. heat a large pot with water lightly salt it if you want
8. SLOWLY let the dumplings glide into the water (put them on a spoon, don't dump them in, they must have room to float)
9. reduce the heat and let them simmer in the water for 5-8 minutes they will pop to the surface when almost ready
10. take one out cut it open an check if it is warm and still slightly firm in the center, you don't want them all soggy from the water
