Simple Kefir Bread
4 c. whole wheat or all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 T. honey
scant 2 c. kefir*
Combine flour and salt. Add honey and
1 1/2 c. kefir to flour mixture. Mix well
and add more kefir until dough is sticky
but pulls away from side of bowl.
Knead 5-10 mins. Transfer to oiled
bowl, cover and let stand in a warm place
12-24 hours. Punch down, place in
loaf pan, cover and let rise until reaches the
top of pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 mins.
* Kefir is a type of yogurt that you can make at home. You will need to purchase kefir grains to begin with (although I imagine you can buy kefir at any health food store and use it in this recipe).
There are many uses for kefir - we've been drinking it for breakfast (with the addition of a little bit of hazelnut liquid coffee creamer)...yum! The probiotic benefits are incredible, but I'll warn you now - the stuff multiplies!!
The Grande Plan/Folly continues, to the detriment of my creaky bones. See?.....

When things don't go to suit you
And the world seems upside down
Don't waste your time in fretting
But drive away that frown
Since life is so perplexing
It's now the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely
And smile whenever you can
