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

  

• 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.
