There is a dish in Jewish cuisine called "Kneidlach". These are dumplings made from flour obtained by grinding matzo.
Matzo is unleavened flatbread made from water and flour without salt. That is, if you grind matzo, you get flour. It is from this flour that kneidlach is prepared. Since I didn’t want to bake matzah myself, I found an excellent alternative - thin pita bread. The dumplings turned out excellent: tender and airy. Exactly what you need for chicken broth. This soup is a dietary dish and is suitable for baby food.
To prepare dumplings we will need: thin pita bread, egg, chicken broth, salt, ground black pepper and water.
