Description
A simple recipe for homemade bread that is easy to make without an oven or starter. The dough rises with kefir, resulting in a tender and fairly porous texture. The entire process from mixing to baking takes about an hour and a half (with the dough rising on its own for an hour). However, you'll need to flip the bread a couple of times in the skillet to ensure it bakes evenly, takes on a nice round shape, and develops a golden crust.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 15.9 oz
- Dry yeast - 0.2 oz
- Kefir - 11 fl oz
- Sugar - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - 1 tablespoon
- Vegetable Oil - 1 fl oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Sift the flour, then add the yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Step 2
Add room temperature kefir to the flour mixture and knead a sticky dough.
Step 3
Add 30 ml of vegetable oil and incorporate it into the dough.
Step 4
Grease your hands with oil and form the dough into a ball. Transfer the dough to a clean, oiled bowl, cover it, and place it in a warm spot for 40–60 minutes. The dough should double in size.
Step 5
Knead the risen dough.
Step 6
Grease a 24 cm (9.5 inch) skillet with oil, pour the batter into it so that it covers the entire surface of the skillet, cover with a lid, and let it sit for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Place the skillet over low heat and bake the bread for 20–40 minutes (the time depends on your stove). To prevent the dough from sticking to the lid, you can cover the skillet with a deep bowl. The bottom of the bread should be golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the lid (or bowl), cover the bread with parchment paper, place a plate on top, and flip the bread over.
Step 9
Return the bread to the skillet along with the parchment paper, cover with a lid, and bake on low heat for another 15–25 minutes, until a golden crust forms. The internal temperature of the finished bread should be 203°F; you can check for doneness by inserting a thermometer into the center of the loaf.
