Combine flour, eggs, water, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl and beat until the dough bubbles. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Beat the dough again; it should stretch without tearing. In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Clean the Romadur and cut it into small cubes. Peel and dice the onions and roast them in a pan until golden brown. Preheat the oven to about 120°C. When the water is boiling, push a ladleful of spaetzle dough through a spaetzle slicer. As soon as the spaetzle float to the top, scoop out the spaetzle with a slotted spoon and let drain. Place the first layer of spaetzle in a large, deep casserole dish or in an ovenproof dish, then add the Romadur, grated cheese, onions, then more spaetzle, etc. – the last layer should be grated cheese. Let it rest in a preheated oven at 120°C for about 15 minutes.
