Tips:

  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rest: After mixing the dough, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.
  • Use a light touch when shaping the Knefla: Be gentle with the dough when shaping it. Don't press or roll it too hard, or it will become tough.
  • Cook the Knefla in simmering water: Don't boil the Knefla. Simmer it gently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the Knefla with your favorite sauce: Knefla can be served with a variety of sauces, such as butter, gravy, or sour cream.
