These homemade pretzel dumplings, like potato dumplings and spätzle, are just asking for a sauce to soak up! Try them with my beer pork gulasch or beef rouladen for the ultimate German dinner!
I am actually amazed at how well these pretzel dumplings turned out using pretzel rods and mainly staple ingredients that you either already have at your home or that you can find for a great price at all supermarkets!
If you're not familiar with the German dumpling tradition... dumplings to Germans (whether they're potato, bread, bacon or whatever kind of dumpling) are THE item on your plate to soak up all the yummy sauces from roasts, rouladen, or in this case: an extremely LECKER, yet easy to make pork and beer goulash.
