Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 150 ml of lukewarm water and let stand for about 10 minutes. Place the flour and salt in a bowl, add the yeast starter and 1/4 liter of lukewarm water, and knead into a smooth dough using the dough hook of a hand mixer. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour. Shape the dough into a log and divide into 14 pieces. On a floured surface, shape each piece into a log (about 15 cm long). Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, brush with a little water, and sprinkle with salt and caraway seeds. Cover and let rise for another 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 220 °C. Bake the logs for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
