- With a spoon, mix the ingredients until they are large flakes, as in the photo. It's a matter of 1-2 minutes) Kefir may require a little more or less
- Start kneading with your hands, collecting the dough into a ball. The density of the dough is much softer than that of dumplings. There is no need to knead for a long time - uniformity is achieved and ready
- Next, my life hack) I make a sausage about 4 cm thick from the dough, put it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator. And then, I use it not only for baking bread. If necessary, you can immediately use
- Cut off the required amount of dough, roll out thinly enough, 1-2 mm. the dough is easy to work with, especially if it has been in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes.
