Swabian "Soul"

Instructions

1. Knead all the ingredients for the dough in a food processor until a strong dough is formed that passes the window test.
2. Place the dough in a lightly greased rectangular tub and leave to rise overnight in the refrigerator.
3. The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow it to acclimatise for at least 1 hour.
4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius with the top and bottom heat on and a pizza stone and baking tray underneath.
5. Spray the dough with a little water and turn it out onto baking paper.
6. Using a wet dough scraper, divide into 4 long rolls.
7. Only very carefully shape the souls if necessary.
8. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and salt (or grated cheese). Lightly spray with water.
9. Place in the oven and pour water directly onto the lower tray. Bake with steam for 5 minutes.
10. Then reduce the temperature to 200 degrees, release the steam and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a baking tray. Spray immediately with a little more water to give a shiny finish.
