No yeast, no fuss — this whole-grain kefir bread bakes up tender and hearty with just four simple ingredients. If you love baking with kefir, try our Peach Kefir Cake and the Classic Semolina Kefir Cake (Mannik).
Ingredients
- 300 g (2 1/2 cups) whole-grain flour
- 300 g (1 1/4 cups) kefir
- 10 g (2 tsp) baking powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients into a thick batter.
- Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake in a preheated 180C (350F) oven for 50 minutes.
- Cool on a rack before slicing.
Tips
- Let the batter rest 10 minutes before baking so the flour hydrates. See more no-yeast baking ideas at Allrecipes.
- Use full-fat kefir for the moistest crumb — learn about dairy ingredients at Serious Eats.
- The loaf is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
