Yeast-ie Kefir

[Guest guest]

Okay... is our Kefir supposed to smell like bread dough? I totally didn't make

the connection until today when I was baking our bread!!! I sniffed the bread

and was, like, " OMG! It's a kefir smell! " Immediately, I knew I was smelling

the yeast in the bread dough.

If kefir isn't supposed to smell yeasty....(and the commercial stuff that I have

doesn't - smells rather like yogurt)... what am I doing " wrong "

Am I fermenting too long?

I do my best to not cross-contaminate the kefir and the bread mixing....

they're spread about twelve hours apart (straining the kefir and breadmaking)

.....

I feel like a Kefir-ized Sherlock Holmes! I *WILL* get this right!!!!

Okay, how are you using kefir to make sourdough bread, recipe please. )

I have made a wonderful soda bread using kefir instead of buttermilk, but not

sourdough.

Also, how do you keep the bugs out of your liquid kefir while straining out

the whey to make the soft cheese spread? It seems the gnats come from out of

nowhere.

Thanks

That's part of the benefit; additional protein.
