Kefir bread in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day 45 mins

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.

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. Stir 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.

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.

4. STEP 4

   

   Check the readiness of the bread with a toothpick. During baking, it should bake well, rise and acquire a golden crust.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the bread has cooled, it can be cut into pieces and served. Bon appetit!

When choosing a homemade bread recipe, I settled on kefir bread. It is healthier than yeast, saturates the body with useful substances, normalizes intestinal function, and contains fewer calories. And, importantly, it cooks faster. The dough turned out soft and slightly sticky, as described in the recipe. She kneaded it, greasing her hands with vegetable oil. Having formed a round piece, I placed it in the mold. I made cuts so that the bread would bake better inside. The cuts turned out to be shallow, as the tender dough spread under the knife, leaving no clear mark. I baked kefir bread in the oven for 30 minutes at 220° (due to the characteristics of my oven). I turned the pan several times so that the bread browned evenly. After the bread was ready, I brushed the hot crust with water and diluted sugar. The bread turned out aromatic and tasty. It was well baked inside and covered with a delicious crispy crust on top. Its crumb is denser than that of yeast bread, and very rich. We couldn’t resist, we ate it hot with butter and sweet tea. Thank you very much for the recipe!

I made “gray” bread according to this recipe, adding about 1/4 of the total amount of rye flour. Everything else is as in the recipe. I'm happy with the result. Next time I will try it entirely with wheat flour. Thank you!

When should you add vegetable oil? Or is 1 tbsp needed to wet your hands?

I tried baking it, it’s delicious, but I still like sourdough bread better, it’s completely different.

Thanks for the recipe! Kefir bread in the oven turned out very tasty! I added a little whole grain flour, about half a cup less than the total amount, because I thought that this flour absorbs a lot of liquid. Perhaps because of this, it took 15 minutes longer to bake. But I liked the result.
