A Tangy Dip for Lithuanian Kepta Duona
Lithuanian Kepta Duona (fried bread) has captured hearts around the world with its crispy texture and rich, garlicky flavour. While it’s delicious on its own, pairing it with a creamy, tangy dip takes this beloved snack to the next level. In this post, I’ll share an incredibly simple yet flavourful recipe for a dip that perfectly complements Kepta Duona’s savoury charm.
INGREDIENTS
Fried bread – Check out my Kepta Duona recipe for step-by-step instructions.
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon kefir
A pinch of garlic powder
A pinch of dried herbs (parsley works wonderfully!)
METHOD
1. Prepare the Dip:
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and kefir. These two ingredients create a creamy and slightly tangy base that pairs beautifully with the crispy bread.
2. Season to Taste:
Add a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of dried herbs. Parsley is my go-to, but feel free to experiment with dill, oregano, or your favourite herb mix. Stir well to combine all the flavours.
3. Serve and Enjoy:
Pour the dip into a small serving bowl and place it alongside your freshly made Kepta Duona. Dip, savour, and enjoy this upgraded version of Lithuania’s No.1 snack!
Tips for the Ultimate Kepta Duona Experience:
Customize the Herbs: Adjust the dried herbs to match your personal taste or the season.
Go Fresh: Freshly grated garlic can replace garlic powder for an extra punch of flavour.
Keep It Crisp: Make sure your fried bread is served warm and crispy for the best experience.
