Instructions

1. Make a yeast dough with flour, help, salt and milk, mix milk and yeast to a pre-dough, let rise and knead with the remaining flour to a firm dough, let rise.
2. In the meantime, peel the onions, slice them finely and quickly sauté them together with the butter and the diced bacon in a pan until the onions collapse and are nicely browned. Let the onion mixture cool down a little.
3. Meanwhile, roll out the yeast dough and line a greased springform pan with it and let it rise a little more. It is best to line the bottom of the springform pan with baking paper. Do not roll out the soil too thin, as the mass will be very high.
4. Season the onion mixture with salt, pepper, caraway seeds, garlic and basil, mix in the sour cream, grated cheese and eggs and place in the springform pan. Bake at 175 ° C for about 30-40 minutes.
