In a large bowl, combine dried bread cubes, flour, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture to the bread mixture and mix until combined.

Incorporate eggs and melted butter into the dough, kneading until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Shape the dough into logs and cut into pieces.

Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes, until they float to the surface.

Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and let them drain.

In a skillet, sauté chopped onion and garlic in butter until golden.

Stir in sour cream, chopped dill, and pepper, cooking until heated through.

Serve the dumplings topped with the creamy dill sauce.
