  2. Cut up the bread into small cubes. If it's still moist, let's dry it out in the oven.
  3. Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Layout the bread pieces on a baking tray or sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly dry.
  4. Meanwhile, sauté the onion in a little butter or oil until soft and translucent. Remove the onions and warm up 160 ml (2/3 cup) milk in the same pan.
  5. Add the dried out bread, sautéed onions, 1 egg, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 3 Tbsp flour and some salt and pepper to a mixing bowl.
  6. Pour in the warm milk and mix well with your hands. If it seems a bit dry, add another tablespoon or two milk.
  7. Let the mixture soak for 15 minutes. Test to see if the mixture holds together when forming a ball. If not, mix in a tablespoon or two of flour until it does.
  8. Wet your hands with cold water (it keeps the mix from sticking to them!), and form about 6 large bread balls.
  9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add some salt, and carefully add the semmelknödel to the pot. Make sure the boil isn't too vigorous or they might fall apart.
