Kefir Sour Dough Bread Made Easy

by

The Recipe for Kefir Sour Dough Bread is a very basic recipe for a delicious bread that tastes divine.

I have made this Kefir Sour Dough Bread and it is absolutely my favourite recipe for bread. It smells delish and tastes really yummy. I cannot tell you how long it will last in your house but in mine (it’s only my wife and I) it lasts about 40 minutes so I have to bake two!

When you make this bread remember, you are making something special …… OK, OK, so it is a short cut but it is just as special as the labour-intensive version.

HOT TIPs For Your :

  1. For crustier bread, place it back in the oven for 5 minutes once it is removed from the bread pan.
  2. For a softer crust, coat crust with a thin layer of Butter or Marg.

Polishing Off

Jam

This is the best part. Eat your Kefir Sour Dough Bread warm with your favourite butter or top with Jam, Peanut Butter or Cheese.

Another great tip: Bake 2 loaves the first time because you will probably polish one off in minutes 😜.
