Soaking Bread
If you don't have slightly stale bread, place the cubes made from fresh bread slices on a plate and let stand uncovered at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Alternatively, place the fresh cubes on a cookie sheet in the middle of a preheated 90ºC or 200ºF oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Sticking
To prevent sticking, moisten your hands before shaping the dumplings.

Boiling
The dumplings may break apart and will certainly become denser than necessary if cooked at a boil.

Presentation
Overlap the dumpling disks in a ring around the entree.

Affinities
Whoever invented Houskove Knedliky probably had in mind roast goose, duck, or pork. The thick, rich sauce that usually accompanies these entrees brings out the best in the dumplings and is usually spooned over them with abandon.
