Instructions

  1. Mix the white flour, wholemeal flour, yeast, salt, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl.
  2. Add the quark, eggs and melted butter, then stir with a spoon until you have a sticky dough.
  3. Knead for 5 minutes on a floured surface, adding a little milk if the dough stays too stiff.
  4. Place the dough in a bowl covered with a tea towel and leave it to rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape into a round or oblong loaf and place it on a tray lined with baking paper.
  6. Let it rise for another 20 minutes, then brush the surface with a little milk.
  7. Bake at 200 °C for 35 to 40 minutes, until the bread sounds hollow when you tap the base.
  8. Let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Variations and tips
