Ingredients

Servings: 20
  • 1 pck (each 500 g) Bread baking mix with sourdough and yeast (e.g. "Bauernkruste")
  • 3 Onions
  • 3-4 Tbsp Oil
  • 1 kg Pork sausage
  • 2 can(s) (850 ml each) Sauerkraut
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 3 TSP Sweet peppers
  • 1 TEASPOON ground caraway
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease
  • 3 pck. (250 g each) sour cream
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 10 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1

    For the dough, prepare the baking mix according to the instructions on the packet and leave to rise. (The base can alternatively be prepared with a light yeast dough).

  2. 2

    For the topping, peel and chop the onions. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the ground pork until crumbly. Fry the onions briefly. Add sauerkraut and bay leaf. Season with pepper, paprika, caraway and a little salt. Bring to the boil and braise covered for about 10 minutes. Let it cool down a little bit.

  3. 3

    Knead the dough again and roll out on a little flour in the size of the fat pan (approx. 32 x 39 cm). Place the dough in the greased and floured fat pan and press it up at the edge. Cover the pan and let it stand for another 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    For the icing, stir sour cream, cream and eggs until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

  5. 5

    Spread the lukewarm cabbage mixture on the dough and pour the icing evenly over it. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 50 minutes. Sour Cream tastes good with it.
