Simple – and simply delicious

Put the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and make a starter dough with the yeast, sugar and some of the water. When bubbles start to form after about 5 minutes, add the remaining water, salt and pepper, fried onions, fresh onions and garlic. Knead with a dough hook until you have a smooth dough, adding a little more water if necessary. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for half an hour. Preheat the oven to 170°C fan/convection oven. Divide the dough into about 3 equal portions and roll each into a strip with a diameter of 3-4 cm. Press the strips together at one end and braid them. Place on a baking tray and put in the oven. After about 20 minutes, generously brush the braid with the previously beaten egg and bake for a further 20-25 minutes. Enjoy! The bread tastes best when it is still slightly warm, ideal for grilling! Extremely delicious for example with a toaster. E.g. with fresh wild garlic, dried tomatoes or fresh herbs.
