Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 yellow onions
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 g) butter
- 1 liter cold water
- 20g fresh yeast
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 1/2 tbsp (15g) salt
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 9-10 dl (8 cups) Ølandshvede flour or substitute with a mix of wheat flour and whole wheat flour or spelt flour
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) rapeseed oil
Instructions
- Peel the onions and garlic and cut them into thin slices.
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add the sliced onions and garlic. Fry until the onions are golden and soft, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the cold water. Add the honey and stir until combined.
- Add the fried onions and garlic to the yeast mixture, followed by the salt, sour cream, and rapeseed oil. Mix well.
- Gradually add the Ølandshvede flour (or substitute flour) to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
- Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Let the loaf rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- If Ølandshvede flour is unavailable, substitute with a mix of wheat flour and whole wheat or spelt flour.
- The bread pairs well with soups and stews or can be used for sandwiches.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked taste.
