First dissolve the yeast with the syrup in the lukewarm water. Add the remaining ingredients and knead everything. Cover the dough and let it rest for 1.5-2 hours.
Then fold and shape the dough. Place in a floured Roman pot, moisten the surface, flour and cut into it. Now place the Römertopf with lid on a wire rack on the lowest level in the COLD oven and bake at 240 ° C top / bottom heat for 50 - 60 minutes. If necessary, brown for a few minutes without the lid.
