Under the Callsign:

The „Duffels-Dejelskoche“ recipe starting under the call sign.

Potato bread is a traditional bread for this region. However, it is no longer eaten every day.

The ingredients for the bread always vary slightly. My recipe is one of many. Nevertheless, it is a flavour experience.

The ingredients:

750 grams of flour.

6 large potatoes.

3 teaspoons of salt

a cube of fresh yeast or the appropriate amount of dry yeast

800ml of warm water

an egg, if available.

Peel and grate the potatoes and put all the ingredients in a large bowl. Knead well and allow the dough to rise. Leave in a warm place for about 1 – 1 1/2 hours. Pour the dough into a greased baking tin (loaf tin) and bake for about an hour at approx. 200 degrees top/bottom heat, fan oven 180 degrees. Leave to cool.

Then cut the bread into slices as usual. Spread with fresh butter and eat with salt.

In other parts of the region, ‘Kuscherschmier’ is also spread on it.

You can also enjoy the bread without having to bake it yourself in the Siegen Museum at the Upper Castle.
