Instructions

  1. First crumble the yeast into a small bowl and let rise with a little water and the teaspoon of sugar for about 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, put the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the risen yeast to the other ingredients and knead the dough with a mixer (dough hook) until it detaches from the edge of the bowl (the dough can still be a bit sticky).
  3. Now cover and let rest in a warm place for about 1 hour. The dough will then be about twice its size.
  4. Please preheat the oven to 250 ° C (top / bottom heat). Now use a spatula to place the dough on the dampened kitchen worktop and, with wet hands, form 6 - 8 elongated loaves and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. The dough pieces do not have to have a smooth surface, they can look a bit rustic. Sprinkle with salt and caraway seeds.
  5. Bake at 250 ° C for about 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200 ° C and bake for another 20-25 minutes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
