No one makes this succulent pork roast and hearty old-world bread dumplings with gravy quite like my mom does. She learned how to prepare dishes like this one when she was a young girl in Austria. -Lisa Radelet, Boulder, Colorado. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 boneless rolled pork loin roast (about 3-1/2 pounds) |
bread dumplings: |
8 day-old hard rolls, torn into small pieces |
1-1/4 cups warm milk |
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
4 eggs, lightly beaten |
3 quarts water |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth |
6 tablespoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Combine the salt, garlic powder and pepper; rub over roast. Place roast fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine rolls and milk. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Stir 1 cup flour and eggs into roll mixture. Shape into 2-in. balls. In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, bring 3 qts. of water to a boil. Add dumplings.
