Bread without yeast with kefir in a bread machine

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake bread without yeast using kefir in a bread machine? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Remove the kefir from the refrigerator in advance so that it warms up to room temperature. When placing food in the bread machine bowl, refer to the instructions for your appliance. In my bread machine, the liquid ingredients are added first, and then the dry ingredients. Yours may be different. Pour kefir and vegetable oil into the bread maker bowl.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add salt, sugar and soda to kefir. You will learn about the peculiarities of using soda in baking by reading an article on this topic. The link is at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve and add to the bread machine bowl. Don't pour out all the flour at once. Leave about 50 grams. If the kefir was initially thick, then less flour may be needed. Keep an eye on it as you knead the dough. It’s better to add a little sleep later. Read more about the properties of flour in the article at the end of this recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add some sesame seeds. Place the bowl in the bread maker and turn on the fast baking mode. For me it lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. If you do not have such a mode, then turn on the “Dough” mode for 10 minutes, and then “Baking” for 40 minutes. The baking mode must be selected to the minimum. When soda reacts with kefir, carbon dioxide is released. If you knead the dough for a long time, all the gas will come out and the dough will not rise well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Check the readiness of the bread with a toothpick. If necessary, add more baking time (10-15 minutes). Remove the finished bread from the bowl, wrap in a towel and cool. Bon appetit!

There is a similar recipe for bread with kefir. You can add Italian herbs for flavor.

I baked a lot of different breads in a bread machine, but I haven’t tried yeast-free bread yet. For a change, I tried this recipe. I replaced kefir with homemade thick fermented milk, only diluting it a little with water. Everything else is according to the recipe, I just didn’t add sesame seeds. I put in all the flour at once. The mode was set to “quick baking”, the crust was medium, the weight of the loaf was 800g. My bread took 1 hour and 38 minutes to bake. As I expected, the bread did not rise much, since there is no yeast in the composition) The bread looks and tastes like a non-sweet cake. It has the same pores, is a little moist and has a faint sour milk smell. This bread cuts perfectly, you get thin flexible slices without crumbling. To my taste, they could have used more salt and some kind of strong flavor additive (garlic powder, fried onions). For yeast-free baking, the bread turned out quite fluffy. It is best used for making sandwiches.
