Start with the dumpling dough by mixing 500 grams of flour with a pinch of salt.

Make a well in the center of the flour and add 250 ml of warm milk.

Add 1 whole egg into the well.

Crumble fresh yeast into the liquid.

Work the liquid into the flour to create a semi-stiff dough.

Knead the dough on a table until well combined.

Add diced stella bread into the dough and mix.

Cover the dough with cling film and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

For the braised chicken, season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.

Heat butter or oil in a pot and fry chopped onions until soft and translucent.

Sear the chicken thighs one at a time in the pot until browned on both sides.

Add paprika to the pot and quickly stir to avoid burning.

Add enough water to cover the chicken in the pot.

Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Remove the chicken from the pot once cooked.

To thicken the sauce, mix plain flour with water and add it to the pot.

Stir until the sauce thickens and the oil separates from the flour.

Prepare the dumplings by ensuring there are no air pockets when shaping them.

Boil the dumplings in water until ready, then remove them.

Brush the dumplings with butter after cooking.

Serve the braised chicken with the sauce and the dumplings on the side.
