kefir bread
Yesterday I discovered that you can make bread with kefir! So I mixed some unbleached white flour with enough kefir to make a doughy ball, added salt and kneaded til it was an elastic ball. Then I left it in a bowl covered with plastic wrap all night and most of today. The cultures in the dough made it rise like yeast bread. Tonight I made some coconut chicken soup but before that I formed the dough into naan-style flat rounds and let them proof on a baking sheet covered in plastic wrap. They cooked up pretty nice at 400 degrees in about 15 minutes, although it tasted nothing like naan. More like some kind of sourdough flatbread, but pretty good! Maybe next time I'll see if it will bake nicely in loaf form...
