On day recently as I was cleaning out the mixing bowl from making pizza dough, I mixed some water with the excess flour and decided to try the raw dough that formed. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to make a dumpling dish without looking at a recipe. Chicken was the easiest thing to add, and it quickly became a creamy chicken and dumpling thing. I started by cooking the chicken with some chicken broth. Then, I added some dumplings made from the following dough (inspired by pizza dough):
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- olive oil (I didn't measure)
- ~ 1/3 cup of water - I just added water until I had the dough consistency I wanted
Once the dumplings started cooking, Caroline added some cream and sour cream we had in the fridge to complete the dish.
Result: a pretty tasty dish, though the dumplings were quite dense. Next time, I might think about making them with milk, or possibly smaller. I don't know - I still have to think about how to make them less dense. This is something I'll probably try again, but I won't subject Caroline to my experiments without trying them first myself.
