Servings: persons

1000 g white bread
800 ml milk (2,8% fat)
200 g flour (all purpose)
6 eggs
120 g pancetta
50 g fresh parsley (minced leaves)
35 g butter
50 g breadcrumbs
30 ml oil
80 g onions
30 g parmesan cheese (grated)
30 g salt

1
Remove crust from bread. Cut the rest of bread into small cubes and dry them in oven. They must become crunchy.
2
Make dough mixing milk, flour, eggs, parmesan and salt. Pour over crunchy bread.
3
Finely mince onion. Cut bacon into small pieces and fry them but not too much. Bacon will drain some lard, so add oil and saute onion until becomes translucent. Add parsley leaves and bacon and put it into dough.
4
Mix well and leave at least half an hour in refrigerator.
5
Make balls with your hand. They must be not larger than tenis balls. To do it better, put your hands in cold water before you form each ball. Put balls into boiling water and cook about 20 minutes. The balls must float, that is the indication they are done.
6
Before serving fry in a frying pan some breadcrumbs on butter. Put bread balls on hot butter just for few seconds to cover them with breadcrumbs. For four persons reduce amount of ingredients to 1/4.
