Ingredients
Instructions
Make The Starter By Crumbling The Fresh Yeast
First, make the starter by crumbling the fresh yeast into a little lukewarm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Combine The Flour
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and caraway seeds. Grate the cooled, peeled potatoes into the flour mixture. Add the activated yeast starter and the remaining milk. Knead everything together to form a soft, pliable dough. If the dough is too stiff, add a little more milk; if it's too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Cover The Bowl With A Cloth And Let
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare The Garlic Topping By Crushing All The Cloves
While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic topping by crushing all the cloves from the head of garlic and mixing them thoroughly with the oil and a good pinch of salt.
Preheat Your Oven To 355
Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C.)
Press The Risen Dough Evenly Onto A Baking Sheet
Press the risen dough evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush The Top Generously With About A Third
Brush the top generously with about a third of the garlic-oil mixture and sprinkle with more caraway seeds.
Bake For 25-30 Minutes
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Remove The Cake From The Oven Two More Times
During the baking process, remove the cake from the oven two more times and brush it with the remaining garlic oil. This ensures a deeply aromatic and flavorful crust.
Brown And Cooked Through
The cake is done when it's golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool slightly before slicing. It's delicious served warm with soups or simply on its own with a glass of wine or beer.
