This bread turns out very moist thanks to the kefir and bakes to perfection in a Le Creuset casserole. It’s the ideal pairing for the breakfast table, weekend brunch, or for an afternoon coffee. The kefir gives the bread a slight tanginess which compliments the sweet raisins and the brown sugar perfectly.

Method
-
1Pour alle the dry ingredients (flour, oat flour, potato starch, brown sugar, dry yeast, psyllium husk, salt, baking powder) into a bowl and mix.
-
2Add the wet ingredients (kefir, lukewarm water, oil, eggs, honey) and mix the dough for 3 minutes in a stand mixer until well-combined.
-
3Add the raisins and mix them into the dough shortly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (to keep the moisture) and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
-
4Sprinkle the surface with a little flour. Pour the dough onto the surface and sprinkle the dough with flour. Mix/press the dough lightly.
-
5Press the dough flat and fold it from four sides (like an envelope) and shape it into a round ball. If the dough is sticky, use a dough scraper. Always make sure there is a little flour underneath the dough.
-
6Turn the seam side down and gently place the dough into the prepared Le Creuset casserole. Cover with the lid and let the dough rest again for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200° C (fan oven).
-
7Before baking, cut approx. 12 g of butter and place it at the centre of the dough. Press the butter lightly into the dough. Place the casserole with the lid on into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
-
8Remove the lid and continue baking the bread for 20 minutes until golden and fully baked. Take the bread out of the oven and cool it on a cooling rack. Enjoy warm or cold.
