Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake bread with kefir? Prepare the necessary ingredients Kefir can be replaced with yogurt. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance to allow it to come to room temperature — this will be better for the dough. Pour the kefir into a convenient bowl, add sugar and salt, stir and let the mixture brew for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift most of the prepared flour and all the soda into a bowl with the kefir mixture. There is no additional need to extinguish the soda, since it will be extinguished by kefir. Mix the contents with a spoon, add the remaining flour and knead the sticky dough with your hands on the table or in a suitable bowl. To prevent the dough from sticking, grease your hands with vegetable oil. Form the dough into a ball, cover it with cling film and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, transfer the dough and make 3-4 cuts in it so that it bakes better. Place the bread in the oven for 35-40 minutes. During baking, the pan can be rotated so that the bread browns evenly on all sides.
