Cooking steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place non-stick baking paper on the baking tray and sprinkle with flour (specifically on the area where the bread will be placed, otherwise the flour will burn and smoke).

2. Place all dry ingredients except for baking soda and baking powder in a large deep container. The following set of components should result: wheat flour / rye flour / flaxseed flour / wheat sprouts / 7-grain flakes / fiber / salt / cane sugar / turmeric / ground ginger / ground nutmeg.

   • Salt: 2 teaspoons
   • Cane sugar: 1 tablespoon

3. Add mustard to the kefir and mix. Then add baking soda and baking powder, mixing until foam starts to form.

   Required ingredients:

   • Kefir: 550 ml
