  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel carrots and onions and chop them coarsely. Place the roast in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add carrots, onions and spice ingredients, bring to the boil. Cover and simmer at low heat for about 3 1⁄2 hours.

  2. 2

    Cool the meat lukewarm or let it cool down overnight in the broth.

  3. 3

    Mix the baking mix and yeast. Add 700 ml lukewarm water. Knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer for about 3 minutes until smooth. Knead in fried onions and 3 tbsp. parsley. Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove rind and fat from the meat. Roll out bread dough on some flour to a thickness of approx. 1 cm (approx. 40 x 45 cm) and brush with egg white. Place the roast with the top side on top, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and wrap in the dough.

  5. 5

    Press the seams well. Place the roast with the seam facing down on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cut the dough several times. Cover and leave to rise again for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Brush the dough with water. Sprinkle with some flour and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: level 3) for 45-50 minutes. Serve roast warm (see tip) or cold.

    American coleslaw and a light remoulade go well with it.
