Due to its nutritional and functional properties, kefir, which is a fermented milk product, is recommended to be used in bread formulations containing milk or dairy products (31). ..."

"... Recent research has shown that the incorporation of dairy products (e.g., yogurt) into bakery good formulations was able to improve both the desired bread quality attributes and the nutritional value of gluten-containing (14,15) and gluten-free bread (16), as well as in sourdough wheat bread (17). Other researchers showed relevant enhancements in breadmaking, by the addition of whey protein to gluten-free bread formulations, reporting the capacity to increase water absorption and improve the handling properties (4). ..."

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
