The reason this recipe uses 1/2 the butter as most chocolate chip cookie recipes is because less oil is necessary when using Jovial’s Einkorn Flour.

Milk Kefir Bread – A Healthier Bread

August 29, 2016 By Recipe Renegade 1 Comment

If you’re anything like me, you like to occasionally enjoy a nice slice of homemade bread, a cookie, or perhaps a cupcake–especially around the holidays. When I eat something that might not be the healthiest, I try to prepare it with real, wholesome ingredients thereby making it as healthy as possible.

Is Your Flour Made from a Mutant Wheat?

If you’ve read my article, Are You Still Eating Wheat? you probably already know why this bread is healthier than other breads. Not only does it contain einkorn flour (that isn’t a mutant wheat), it has milk kefir (or yogurt), a fermented milk, which acts as a preservative. This bread will stay fresh for longer than loaves made with just water or milk.

I Only Use Einkorn Wheat

Einkorn, is our oldest wheat and the only one left that has not been hybridized. Today, most wheat is sprayed with glyphosate before harvest. The wheat flour I’ve listed in my recipe from Amazon is tested for and does not contain glyphosate. It has a lower gliadin to glutenin ratio than modern wheat and can be tolerated by some who have gluten intolerance.

CAUTION: DO NOT eat this wheat or wheat bread, if a doctor has instructed you to avoid wheat or gluten!

Did I mention that I LOVE my Westbend bread machine from the 1990’s? If I didn’t have my vintage bread maker, I’d save up for this one:
