Dampfnudel is a traditional German dish that can be either a noodle or bread, served as a main course or dessert. It is made from yeast, flour, sugar, and water, and can include milk and butter. The dough is formed into balls and cooked in an iron skillet with a lid to create a soft texture. It can be sweet or savory and is often served with vegetables or sauerkraut as a main course or topped with a sweet sauce or custard as a dessert.
Dampfnudel is a traditional dish that probably originated in the southern part of Germany. It soon spread to France and other surrounding countries where it remains popular to this day. The first written record of this dish can be found in an early 19th century German cookbook. Dampfnudel can be described as either a noodle or a bread, and is often considered a combination of the two, depending on how and where it is made. It can serve as both a main course and a dessert and can be sweet or savoury, depending on the recipe.
Most wet recipes consist of yeast, flour, sugar and water. Some may even include milk and butter, which adds a richness to the dish. Once these ingredients are mixed together, they are formed into tight dough balls and placed close together in an iron skillet. The pan is covered with a lid and placed in the oven for cooking. The lid is needed to create the soft, noodle-like texture associated with this dish.
Traditionally, it steams the wet pasta as it cooks. In Bavarian regions, cooks add a small amount of milk and melted butter to the pan before cooking. In the Rhineland region of Germany, this milk and butter is replaced with salt and water or brine mixed with melted fat. As the pasta cooks, the liquid smokes the noodles. When the dish is ready, all liquid will have evaporated from the dish.
When they’re done, the wet mud typically has a brown, caramelized bottom and sides. The center and top of the dough remain soft and fluffy and retain a light colour. A typical dinner will consume one to two wet muds as a main course, or a single unit as a dessert.
Depending on whether the dish is served as a meal or a dessert, the stew can taste sweet. As a main course, this dough is usually served with vegetables or sauerkraut. It can also be used as a side dish for dipping in stews or soups, and can even be steamed in chicken stock when served this way. Some chefs may even fill or fill wet mud.
As a dessert, this dish is typically topped with a sweet vanilla sauce or served with a rich custard. It can also be eaten with stewed fruit. Often, a moist unsweetened glaze is used to complement a much sweeter sauce or custard.
