Bread with brine in a bread machine
Description
It is perfect with tea and coffee. I suggest baking the bread in a bread maker. It saves a lot of time. For this loaf, I used brine from fermented cabbage with tomatoes. It has a pronounced tanginess. A slight tang was also passed on to the bread, but it did not spoil its taste at all. You can use brine from any fermented vegetables. If you don’t have whey, replace it with water. You will get an excellent lean version of bread. It can be served with tea or coffee.
