Ingredients

  • 2¼ tsp. 1 package active dry yeast
  • ½ cup warm water about 120°
  • pinch of sugar
  • 2 cups warm milk or water about 120°
  • 1 T. shortening
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 T. sugar
  • 2 cups soy flour
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading

Instructions

  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water to which you have added a pinch of sugar.
  • Let it stand about 10 minutes or until bubbly.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the warm milk, shortening, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the yeast mixture and then gradually add the soy flour, mixing as you go.
  • Beat for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour (you’ll probably need to use a large wooden spoon when the dough gets thick) until it forms a loose ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Place the ball of dough into a large greased bowl, turning the dough so the entire surface is greased.
  • Cover and set in a warm place to rise until double, about 2 hours.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape into loaves.
  • Place in greased loaf pans, cover, and let rise until the bread reaches about an inch above the top of the pan, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until done.
