Homemade bread kvass without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make homemade bread kvass without yeast? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Any bread will do, I have Borodino bread with coriander on the top to enhance the aroma of kvass, but any bread will do. The richer the color of the bread, the darker and tastier the kvass will be. Please note that there is no need to wash the raisins, since on their surface there are bacteria necessary for fermentation.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the black bread into medium cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven until crispy.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place rye crackers in a three-liter jar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sugar and unwashed raisins.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour clean drinking water into the jar, not adding a little to the brim. Since the crackers will swell during fermentation, water may spill out if the jar is filled to the very brim.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the jar with a lid or gauze and leave the kvass to ferment in a dark, warm place for two days.

8. STEP 8

   

   In two days, kvass without yeast at home will be ready. All that remains is to strain it through a sieve.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the kvass into a jug and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to cool. Then pour into glasses. The remaining croutons and raisins in the jar can be used as a base for the next batch of kvass, you just need to add a little more freshly dried croutons and a little sugar.

I don't have time to cook in the summer. Kvass is drunk down to the drop at the speed of light. And this recipe is also successful.

I wanted to make homemade bread kvass without yeast. For this I took Borodino bread, cut it as directed and dried it in the oven. Then I did everything as described in the recipe. I had three kvass. Apparently it’s not warm enough for it yet) It turned out to be a beautiful color, with a slight sparkle thanks to the raisins. For me, this is one of the best summer drinks. Maria, thanks for the recipe!

Good afternoon! I tried to make kvass according to the recipe using filtered water. On the second day, lush mold bloomed on top. What’s wrong?
