Step cooking
- The process of making bread on kefir is quite simple. First, pour 150 ml of water into a bucket from a bread machine. It is recommended to preheat it a little, so that it is about 36 degrees. Thus, the yeast will dissolve better. It is possible to heat water in a microwave or in a kettle. But in the latter case, you should make sure that the water does not get too hot, since boiling water can not be poured.
- Add 110 ml of kefir to warm water. A dairy product can be taken of any fat content and it is recommended to warm it up a bit or to be at room temperature, but in no case cold.
- Add 1 tsp to the liquid ingredients. salt and a similar amount of sugar.
- Sift 380 g of wheat flour and add to the bucket to the rest of the products. Sift the flour to make the dough more magnificent and more airy. During sifting, the flour is enriched with oxygen.
- On top of all the ingredients, put 16 g of fresh yeast. They need to be crushed a little by hand.
- We put the bucket in the bread machine, close the lid and set it to the main mode. First, the dough will be kneaded, then the fermentation process follows. At the very end, bread will be baked. In general, the process of making homemade bread on kefir takes 3.5 hours. We take out the finished bread from the bread machine and let it cool slightly. It is not recommended to cut hot bread immediately, as its structure may be disturbed. Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut the bread into slices 1-1.5 cm thick and serve with any dish. Bread is obtained with a porous structure, soft and neutral in taste. It will be ideally combined with fruit jam or salty filling.
