How to prepare Mushroom Dumplings

• Let’s start preparing the Mushroom Dumplings. First, prepare the vegetable broth so that when the dumplings are ready, the broth will be ready to cook them. Cut the bread into small pieces and place it in a large bowl, add the milk, and mix well, letting it rest so it absorbs the milk and softens, stirring occasionally to make it smooth.

• Work the bread with your hands to get a uniform mixture, add the beaten eggs, flour, parsley, a pinch of salt, extra virgin olive oil, mix well, and let it sit for about ten minutes.
  

• Now form the dumplings, taking portions of the mixture weighing about 1.75 oz each, forming dumplings by rolling the mixture between your hands, and as you prepare them, keep them aside on a plate.
