Are you looking for an easy way to get your daily dose of probiotics? Are you looking for something easier than eating sauerkraut everyday?

Quick Milk Kefir Bread
- In our kitchen we ❤ making bread by hand.
- Bread baking is all about timing.
- We follow a family bush ritual in starting the process.
- The starter is left by running water in a bush environment for a number of days.
- Today, we know it is the microbes in the organic grain that has the most impact on fermentation.
- But tradition is the glue that sticks a family together 👪
- But as for bread machines, you can’t argue with convenience and temperamental sour dough starters.
- Pop in milk kefir and flour and go to bed.
- On waking turn on and fresh, delicious bread 3-4 hours later!
- That even has the sour dough taste.
We used #glutenfree mixture of green banana and tiger nut flour. For extra sour zing and colour, a dash of red #sauerkraut.

How can I enjoy milk kefir?
‘’Kefir is a cultured, fermented milk drink,
It is similar to yoghurt – but a drink, with a tart, sour taste and a slight ‘fizz’.
This is due to carbon dioxide – the end product of the fermentation process.
The length of the fermentation time will affect the taste.
Kefir is a good source of calcium and is rich in probiotic bacteria.’’
Milk is a powerful symbol within most cultural traditions.
It is the fluid of eternal life, fertility, abundance; it is the food of the gods.
Milk symbolizes the MOTHER, it is deeply connected with life itself.
