Ingredients
- 2 Cups Self-Raising Flour
- 1 Cup Kefir
Optional Topping:
- 1 Egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine flour and kefir in large bowl and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Pour dough onto a floured surface and knead 3-4 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the dough into a ball and divide into 4 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion to 1-inch thickness and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the rolls with an egg wash before baking to get an extra golden, bakery-style crust.
- Bake 20 minutes at 375°F, then reduce to 350°F and bake 10 minutes more. Cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Take your kefir out of the fridge in advance: Cold kefir will still work, but I’ve found room-temperature kefir mixes much better and is easier to work with.
- Flatten the dough gently: This keeps the rolls from turning dense.
- Use wet hands or flour while kneading: If your dough feels sticky, add a little extra flour or use wet hands while kneading until it’s smooth and workable.
