Hearty Onion and Bacon Sourdough Bread - Savory Comfort Food

This hearty onion and bacon sourdough bread brings the scent of freshly baked bread straight to your kitchen. As a hobby cook, I love the combination of aromatic, golden-brown sautéed onions and savory bacon that pairs perfectly with the tangy note of an active sourdough starter. This bread is a wonderful, savory comfort food that shouldn't be missing from any cozy supper. It is surprisingly easy to make as long as you take a little time for the dough. When the crust turns perfectly crispy in the oven and the whole apartment smells of onions and smoked bacon, my little cat heart purrs with joy. Since we avoid processed products entirely and use only fresh ingredients, it doesn't just taste better—it's also free from unnecessary additives. Grab your apron and let's bake this wonderful bread together—it's easier than you might think, and the result is a real highlight for any lover of hearty baked goods.

Ingredients

Preparation

1

First, finely dice the onion (1) and cut the bacon (50 g) into small strips.

2

Sauté both in a pan without additional fat until translucent and crispy, then set aside briefly to cool.

3

In a bowl, knead the wheat flour (250 g), sourdough starter (100 g), water (150 ml), and salt (5 g) into a smooth dough.

4

Carefully fold the cooled onion-bacon mixture (1) (50 g) into the dough.

5

Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 2 hours until it has visibly increased in volume—a small tip: be patient, sourdough likes it cozy!

6

Shape the dough into a round loaf and let it rise on a baking sheet for another 30 minutes.

7

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and bake the bread for about 35 to 40 minutes until the crust is wonderfully golden brown.
