Step 1

Dissolve the fresh yeast and sugar in approx. 100 ml of lukewarm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. (Skip this step for dry yeast—add directly to the flour.)

tsp. Sugar (for activating the yeast)

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix rye and wheat flour. Add salt, the activated yeast (or dry yeast), the remaining lukewarm water, and vinegar. Knead into a smooth, slightly sticky dough.

tbsp. Vinegar (e.g., apple cider vinegar)

Step 3

Fry the diced bacon until crispy, then add the onion rings and roast until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then knead into the dough. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1–2 hours until it has doubled in size.

Step 4

Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead briefly. Press the cheese cubes into the center of the dough and fold the dough around them to seal. Wash the savoy cabbage leaves thoroughly and pat dry.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 220 °C (428 °F). Place the wrapped bread in a WMF Fusiontec® Round Roaster and bake for about 45–50 minutes, until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing. This allows the cheese to set slightly and the bread to finish developing its flavor
