Tyrolean Spinach and Bacon Dumplings image

I became intrigued with the multiple dumpling recipes on the web and combined a few that sounded particularly good for this version. I'll be really honest and say that I cannot guarantee authenticity. But any recipe that starts with stale bread gets bonus points in my book! You can use any stale bread you like - the heartier the better. Have these as a main dish with a nice sauce or gravy, or serve them in a bowl of soup or broth. For ZWT6 Austria
