Ingredients

1 medium Onion coarsely chopped

2 cups Rye flour

cup Warm water

1 pkt Yeast

tablespoon Caraway seeds

2 cups Rye sour

cup Water

pkt Dry yeast

tablespoon Salt

2 cups Bread flour

Egg

tablespoon Caraway seeds

Preparation

For the starter: Put onions in cheese cloth. Mix remaining ingredients, submerge cheese cloth into it, and let sit overnight (in bread pan). In the morning, remove the onions. There should be 2 cups of starter in the pan - just what we need. Add remaining ingredients - use up to 1/4 cup more flour if needed to get the dough ball to the right consistency. Also the 1/4 cup water should be added slowly, using judgment. About 20 minutes before baking slash the top and brush with the egg beaten with 1 tbs of water and sprinkle with caraway seeds. -
