Rye-wheat bread with kefir
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. You can adjust the ratio of rye and wheat flour to your taste. It will depend on what result you want. If you add more rye flour, the amount of wheat flour will decrease, so the finished bread will be darker. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
