Kefir bread for kefir lovers
Here’s the recipe for bread which includes the use of kefir. It is very simple to make and it doesn’t take a lot of time, therefore it’s just perfect to make for busy weekdays (assuming it will last so long:)
Ingredients for kefir bread:
- 500 g of spelt flour
- 1/2 tsp of salt
Making kefir bread is simple and without kneading. - 3-4 tbsp mixed seeds
- 400 ml of sparkling mineral water
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 5 tbsp of milk kefir
Instructions for kefir bread:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (356 °F). Mix all dry
ingredients together in a bowl. Add olive oil, kefir and
mineral water and gently mix it all together with a wooden spoon. At the end the mix will be a bit lumpy but it should not be too runny (add more flour in this case).
Put the mix in a baking tray with a baking sheet in it. Bake the bread for approximately 1 hour. It should be slightly brown when done.
After it’s done baking take it out of the oven and wrap it in a cloth. Leave to rest for a bit before you cut it.
This kefir bread goes good together with soups and stews. It’s also delicious with kefir spread for an afternoon snack.
