This innovative recipe was submitted by Edel at Lamh Sioda, using kefir instead of traditional yeast in bread making.
Unlike yeast, kefir’s natural fermentation process doesn’t just help the dough rise; it also breaks down gluten, making the bread easier to digest and adding a subtle tang and a tender crumb to your bread loaf.
