Breaking bread in the family home that comes
fresh from the oven is a pure bliss generator!
Once you've experienced the satisfaction of
how easy it is to make bread at home, you might easily progress to the super
value adding recipes that improve flavour and nutrition. Add flavour and
nutrients to any loaf with nuts and seeds or bran for extra fibre, or prebiotics.
You can even go further by developing the
chemistry with a sourdough starter which is a fermented culture. This amazing
living culture lowers the phytate levels and makes this kind of loaf more
digestible. This in combination with the prebiotics means a healthier gut and
less chance of imbalance, like blood sugar spikes in people suffering from
diabetic and related illnesses.
Historically sourdough starters have been kept
alive and passed on for generations giving bakers of the old days status and reputation
for artisan breads. These days sourdough starters are less common but kefir is
not only an appropriate alternative in its ability to improve the nutritional
value of the bread but it also delivers a flavourful and fluffy sourdough loaf.
Here is a recipe from the Rebooted Mom using
kefir to try for yourself.
Get your kefir delivered to your door from our online
shop and experience the benefits of gut health the tasty way!
Healthy tummy,
happy life!
