Instructions

1. Knead the wheat flour together with the sugar, the salt, the yeast and the water to form a pre-dough and let it rest for 3 - 4 hours in a cool (not cold) place. Peel and dice the onions and fry them brown in the butter. Let cool down. Knead the rye flour with the sourdough, the pre-dough and the water to a rather soft dough (kneading time approx. 15 minutes). Finally, work in the onions. Cover the finished bread dough in a bowl and let it rise for 1 hour. Knead the dough again and form a loaf. The dough should be quite soft and difficult to work with. Nevertheless, do not add any more flour! The best way to work is with a dough card. Put the loaf in a floured proving basket and let rise for another hour. Shoot in the oven preheated to 250 ° (top / bottom heat) (preferably on a baking stone) and steam vigorously. Baking time: Bake for 15-20 minutes at 250 ° Bake for 40-45 minutes at 200 °
