Peel the onions. Finely dice onions and bacon. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small pot. Fry the onions and diced bacon for about 2 minutes. Wash the rosemary, dab dry, pluck the needles from the stems. Finely chop the seeds and rosemary needles.
Peel garlic and press it through a garlic press or chop it very finely. Warm 300 ml of water slightly, crumble yeast into it and dissolve it. Quickly knead flour, 1/2 tsp salt, approx. 1/2 tsp pepper, rosemary, garlic, bacon mixture, seeds, 2 tbsp oil and mixed yeast with the dough hook of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. If the dough is too moist or sticky, knead in tablespoons of flour. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Knead the dough again, cut in half on a floured work surface and form into two longish rolls (each approx. 30 cm long) with floured hands. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the dough rolls on top and braid into a plait. Cover again and let rise for about 20 minutes. Put bread in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) and spray generously with water. Bake for 30-40 minutes, spraying 2-3 times with water. If necessary, cover with aluminium foil at the end and test with sticks.
