Apple and onion lard bread

This apple and onion lard bread is really delicious. A well-balanced, moist dough that goes perfectly with savoury toppings or can simply be enjoyed on its own.

  3. Mix the yeast with the sugar and lukewarm buttermilk and pour into the well.
  4. Stir in a little flour from the side and leave to rise for a quarter of an hour.

  6. Leave the dough to rest for about 2 1/2 hours, covered with a tea towel.
  7. Knead the dough into one or two loaves and leave to rise for another 30 minutes in a proofing basket.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven at 250°C on the middle rail for 50–55 minutes.
