Yeast dough on kefir without eggs - tasty, light, lush! Easy and quick to prepare - 20 minutes and you're done! Well, then we just wait for the rise, or better - two.

It looks like the recipe of which I have already shared with you. It also contains neither eggs nor butter, only vegetable. The difference between the two types of dough is in the ratio of water and kefir (bifilife) and in yeast - they are dry there, alive here. But they are interchangeable. On average, 50 grams of live yeast or 11 grams of dry yeast are used per 1 kg of flour. Therefore, you can choose those that you currently have in stock.

I baked sausages in the dough from this dough, the recipe for which I will share with you next time, and buns. With buns, everything is as easy as shelling pears - I divided the dough into approximately equal pieces, rolled it into a ball and put it on a baking sheet greased with sunflower oil. I sent it to the oven and baked for 20-25 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. If you have time, you can put in front of the oven for proofing for 15-20 minutes. If desired, you can grease the top with yolk or whole raw egg, as well as milk / kefir.

This dough is universal - it is suitable for both! Therefore ... hands to feet and knead in the kitchen! 😉

From the products I took:



  • kefir - 200 ml
  • water - 200 ml
  • live yeast - 40 g (or 7-8 g dry)
  • sunflower oil- 80 ml
  • premium wheat flour - 6 cups*
  • salt - 0.5 tsp
  • sugar - optional to taste
  • * 1 cup = 200 ml liquid = 125 g flour

How I knead the dough:

I combined kefir and water together. Their general temperature should be warm. I took cold kefir and hot water.
I diluted the salt (I do not adhere to the principle that salt interferes with yeast).
If you want to get a sweet dough, add sugar to taste at the same stage (up to 100 grams).
Dissolved the yeast. If using dry yeast with peas, dilute it at the same stage. If dry powdered, then add later, after mixing with flour.

I added sunflower oil. You can take any, I used fragrant unrefined.

Then I sifted the flour, added it in several stages.

Thoroughly knead the dough. Covered with a lid and kept warm.

When the dough had risen, I kneaded it and returned it to a warm place.

Wait for the dough to rise again.

That's all - you can bake at least buns, at least pies / pies, at least or sausages in the dough. You can fry, you can bake! ;)

In the oven, buns and pies will last 20-25 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. For pies, in view of b O Larger sizes will take 35 minutes to 1 hour to bake depending on the toppings.

"That's real craftsmanship.

Miracle dough on kefir for lovers of culinary experiments

2.5 stack. flour,
2 tsp Sahara,
⅔ tsp salt,
⅔ tsp soda (do not immediately pour into the dough!).

Cooking:
Mix warm kefir with butter, sugar and salt. Do not add soda to the mass. Gradually add flour to the total mass to make an elastic, but not tight dough, even if it sticks to your hands a little. This is important, an overly tight dough will not give those very airy pores that make these pastries magically delicious. Roll out the finished dough into a layer 1 cm thick, sprinkle with a little flour so that it does not stick to the table, and sprinkle the layer over the entire surface, as if salting it, with ⅓ of the soda. After that, first wrap ⅓ of the layer, then the second, and then fold the bundle three times across. After all these manipulations, roll out the bundle again and, just like the first time, sprinkle some of the soda again and fold the dough in the same way as before. Do this procedure again (that's why we use soda in three stages). The dough will get better and better with each rolling. After the third rolling-folding, cover the dough with a bowl or bag and leave for 30-40 minutes to rise. Then divide it into portions and cook what you want. Do not crush the pieces too much so that the bubbles do not disappear.

As you can see, kefir dough is suitable for cooking almost any pastry. And most importantly, there is nothing complicated in preparing the dough, most recipes can be done even by a schoolboy.

Bon appetit and new culinary discoveries!
