Before, I could not imagine that it is so easy to bake bread at home. My childhood ideas that bread can only be baked in a Russian oven turned out to be simply mistaken. Yes, our grandmothers did just that. But even in an ordinary oven, delicious bread comes out in one-two-three. And for this you only need a proven recipe. Many times I tried to make bread with yeast, it turned out well, I do not argue, but whatever one may say, this is a rather lengthy process and there is not always time for it. Another thing is to bake bread on kefir without yeast. An excellent recipe below with all the details and photos.




Required products:
- 200 grams of kefir,
- 350 grams of wheat flour,
- 1 tea. l. baking soda without a slide,
- 1 tea. l. salt without a slide,
- some vegetable oil for lubrication.

Recipe with photo step by step:





Add a little salt to the sifted flour. To make the bread taste good, you cannot do without salt. We use regular rock salt, but not sea salt.




Pour baking soda into the flour and also stir with a spoon so that the dry ingredients mix together.




Pour in kefir, which is better so that it is at room temperature. With warm kefir, soda will react faster.




From the resulting products, knead the dough and roll it into a ball. To do this, grease your hands with vegetable oil. Leave the ball of dough to rest under a towel for 15-20 minutes.






Slightly coat the baking dish with butter, put the bread there. I made a few notches so that the middle of the bread unfolds slightly during the baking process.




We put the bread in a preheated oven, set 180 ° for baking and bake the bread for 40-45 minutes. The bread bakes well and becomes fluffy.




Cut the cooled bread into pieces and you can eat. Bon Appetite!
But this is how you can bake

Pour the required amount of kefir into a cup, add soda, sugar and salt, beat well with a whisk and leave for 10-15 minutes. During this time, small bubbles should form on the surface from the interaction of soda and kefir.

Sift the flour into a cup with the kefir mixture, not all at once, but somewhere ¾ of the required amount.

Be sure to sift the flour, this makes it looser, which will make it easier to knead when kneading the dough.


Using a wooden spoon, start mixing the flour with the kefir mixture until smooth.


When mixing with a spoon becomes difficult, put the flour mass on a chopping board sprinkled with flour.


Add the remaining flour in portions, knead a smooth, non-sticky dough with your hands, shape into a ball and place in a cup. Cover the cup with the dough with a clean towel and leave for 30-40 minutes.

On a note

The amount of flour may need more or less, depending on the thickness of the kefir. If the kefir was liquid, then more flour would be needed, and less if the kefir was thick.


Divide the dough into 2 equal parts, about 260 grams each. Each part of the dough, giving it an oblong shape, place in a baking dish covered with parchment.
Note: The amount of dough mixed from the declared ingredients is intended for 2 baking dishes measuring 5 * 10 centimeters. If you wish, you can take one larger mold.


Bake soda bread in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 35-40 minutes, until browning and readiness, which can be checked with a wooden skewer, which, stuck in the middle of the bread, should come out dry.

Remove the baked bread from the oven, remove from the mold and cool.


Cut the finished bread into portioned slices and serve. Bon Appetit!

This recipe for homemade bread on kefir without yeast was shared with me by the reader of the site Lyudmila. Many thanks! The recipe is very simple, and the bread is delicious, fluffy, with a ruddy, crispy crust!

When the children tried their homemade white "brick" on kefir, they said, "Let's not buy bread in the store, but you, mom, will always bake at home!" 🙂 So I recommend you to try to bake bread with kefir.


Ingredients:


  • 300 g of wheat flour (this is 2 and 1/4 cups with a volume of 200 g);
  • 1 glass of kefir (200 ml);
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda;
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • A little sunflower oil to lubricate hands and shape.

How to bake bread with kefir and soda:

Kefir bread dough is prepared very similarly to pancake dough, only without eggs and sugar. In general, the recipe is very budgetary. We mix dry ingredients: flour, soda, salt.


Add kefir.


First stir the dough with a spoon.


And then knead with your hands. The dough will stick to your hands, but resist the temptation to add flour as the dough will become too tough. The specified amount of flour is just right for the bread to turn out lush, fluffy! And so that the dough does not stick, I greased my hands with sunflower oil. Knead for 5 minutes - in the meantime, the oven heats up to 200C.


Then we form a "brick", put the dough in a dish greased with vegetable oil and put in the oven.


We bake homemade bread on kefir for about 35-40 minutes, taste for readiness with a wooden stick. The finished bread is fluffy, the dough is dry inside, and the outside is hard, golden brown.


You see, bread with soda and kefir turns out to be as fluffy as yeast, except that the dough is a little denser. To cut, you need to wait a little until it cools down, because fresh bread is very soft inside.


It is very tasty to spread bread with butter and tea!
