Should I try baking bread with these? If so which one? I love some malty beer in my pizza dough.

    Woah, these sound delicious. Are they good?

  2. It’s not bread flavored, it’s *made* from bread, try some it’s good. I do reccomend Ukrainian Kvas Taras.

    I am not sure that it makes sense to use them for making bread tho…..

    I don’t know why you would make bread with it. It’s already made of bread, it isn’t bread flavoured.

    In any case, kvas is better when you make it yourself, and it’s very easy to make yourself. Get some stale/toasted black bread, some sugar, and some yeast, and put it all together with some water and burp it every day and you’re good.

    Definitely saw a youtube video (Brian Lagerstrom) that called for beer in place of longer fermentation, as a flavor shortcut!

    What’s the market? It’s a fermented rye drink. It’s not really bready.

    They are typically sweet like a soda. I wouldn’t use them in bread. They are tasty though

    Kvasss is more of a bread flavored soda. Less like a beer.

    I’ve come up with a genius plan: next time I bake bread, I’ll use the stale bits to make kvass. Then I’ll use that kvass to bake more bread. And when that bread goes stale — more kvass. An eternal kvass-bread-kvass loop. I may have invented a self-sustaining bakery.

    I actually reviewed these here if you want more info. In short, you should try them 🙂

    I’m on holiday in the Baltics at the moment, and this stuff is delicious! They have it on draught, next to beer. Definitely going to try making it. I think you can make it stronger at home too…

    Kvass tastes like Goya Malta. But better.

    In Ukraine, they use to come around in trucks and everyone brought their glass.

    Disclaimer: I’ve never had any, but I’ve read about it. Kvass is traditional throughout Eastern Europe, and dates back to at least the 10th century.

    There were no ice cream trucks so the kids stood in line around the corner and used the dirty glasses the truck had.

    Aah, the memories. We somehow survived.

    Kvass is made from bread, most of em taste quite nice

  15. Beer and bread is the same thing. Almost.

    Put some diastatic malt powder in your dough, before the fermentation, and it will become even more obvious. Delicious bread for beer lovers. Or caramelize some flakes of bread and put in the beer. Delicious beer for bread lovers.

    When you make beer you convert more of the starch in the grain into sugars. And remove the grain afterwards. And you drink the fermented sugars and feed the remains of the grain to happy pigs.

    When you make bread you don’t convert as much of the grain into sugars. And you have ground the grain and eat it when baked. Then you are the happy pig.

    Porridge is an intermediate. Just not fermented. Today. In the past it could be. It would then be both food and drink, making workers on the pyramid happy.

  16. This is my best Kvass I found in the market in Ireland (the first picture).

    I wouldn’t use it for bread because it’s sweet as any other soda drink. Industrial kvas is pretty much sugar, water and malt extract. Traditional kvas is made with rye bread, water and sugar. Great stuff, very refreshing when it’s served cold.
