Instead of semolina, our family uses Cream of Wheat or Farina.

I have to make Semmel Knoedel for my Children on every Holiday;)
I use french Bread what I buy 3 or 4 days before, cut into slices and let it dry( bread has to be really dry to get the right mix)! If I need a little more substance after I mix all together I use all purpose flour! And make sure you always wet hands you can form the knoedels so much better!

Our recipe called for using flour instead of semolina. Also used nutmeg and thyme as well as small onion minced fine. I’ve found that I can use one large loaf of stale bread broken into small pieces and works very well. And, yes, more than two eggs isn’t necessary.
These dumplings are simply awesome with Roast Pork!

The last time I made knodels – they broke into lots of little pieces in the boiling water…..was missing semolina the problem? I don’t remember my mother buying that….what kind of USA rolls work well instead of broetchen……last time i was in munich I had lunch at the Spatenhaus of a knodel with the most wonderful pfererlinge sauce…..mushroom sauce – does anyone have a similar recipe. Thanks so much! Elizabeth

Try plain breadcrumbs instead of the semolina. Works just as well.
For a little more flavor, fry some onions, diced very fine in butter until opaque, not brown. Add with the milk.

Semolina is a flour (very yellow) commonly used to make pasta. You can get it in most natural foods stores, and some grocery stores in the pasta section.

Hm, in German it’s called Gries.
But I think this won’t help you.
