Kefir Whey used in Bread making.
« on: January 06, 2014, 06:43:28 am »

After making a litre of Kefir and then straining it through a nut milk bag,  I ended up with 1 Tablespoon of a lovely soft cheese and the rest whey.  So as not to waste this valuable liquid i did some research and decided to make bread,  using the whey instead of water.  Most posts on Google refer to using the Whey as the raising agent, some times adding a little yeast. This is a long process and can take several days.  I needed fresh bread for lunch.
In the recipe for Vienna Bread, (thanks Cookie), I replaced all the water with the whey. The first rise took twice as long .  The second rise was normal.  The bread baked as normal.  When tasted,  there was little Whey taste.  The Crust was a little more chewy,  not as crusty as without the Whey. It produced a fine loaf.

They look yummy Chookie. I love that recipe you can do almost anything with it. Your No Fuss recipe is another favourite of ours.

We ate one for lunch with Avocado, bacon and chicken mayo.  I then freeze the other 2 as they reheat very well in a hot oven.

Oh wow. They look beautiful. I saved a load of whey from my yogurt making the other day. Do you think it would work the same?
