Uses
- Soup with Dumplings
- Potatoes Dumplings and Sauerkraut
- Goulash with Dumplings

Key Techniques
- Mashed potatoes help distribute water evenly and handle like dough.
 - Flour mix of 50-50 oat flour and whole wheat flour helps lighten color and taste.
- Baking wrapped in parchment and foil steams gently without falling apart. Wrapper still contains lots of moisture when removed.

Makes 2 small loaves (2 x 1 cup loaves).

MAIN

- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
