Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly grease a baking sheet.

  2. In a Dutch oven, combine sauerkraut, liquid, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic; bring to a boil, then simmer for one hour until liquid is mostly gone. Stir in caraway seeds, cover, and remove from heat.

  3. Cut bread dough into pieces, roll into 3/4-inch diameter ropes, then cut into 1-inch chunks and roll into balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake the dough balls until golden brown and firm, then let them stand for 10 minutes after removing from the oven.

  5. Reheat the sauerkraut mixture until steaming, then add the baked dough balls and mix well. Cover, let stand 2-3 minutes, and serve.
