Instructions

  1. Mix the buttermilk and water. Mix rye flour, sugar, yeast and 150 ml buttermilk / water mixture into a pre-dough and let rise in a warm place for approx. 2 hours.
  2. Knead the rest of the flour, salt and buttermilk / water mixture into a firm dough, I do it with the food processor in about 10 minutes. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes and do not knead any more.
  3. Carefully divide into 4 equal pieces, pull them out to a length of approx. 20 cm and place them on a baking sheet as snails. Cover and let rise for approx. 50-60 minutes, the dough pieces should rise to about twice their size.
  4. Dust with a little wheat flour and bake in the preheated oven at 250 ° (top / bottom heat) on the lower rail for 8 minutes, then at 220 ° for another 15 minutes.
  5. The knobs should be a nice dark color.

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.
