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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the stale vegan bread rolls into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.

Step 3

Warm the unsweetened almond milk slightly, then pour it over the bread cubes and add the flax egg.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.

Step 6

Using your hands, gently combine all the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

With wet hands, shape the dough into small, round dumplings, roughly the size of a golf ball.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove the dumplings carefully with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel.

Step 11

Serve the Vegan Bread Dumplings warm, alongside your favorite vegan gravy or as part of a hearty plant-based meal.
