  2 1/4   ts           Yeast
  3       c            Bread flour
    1/2   c            Soy flour
    1/4   c            Soybean oil
  3                    Eggs
  1                    Egg yolk (you can use egg
                       Substitute if you prefer)
  2       tb           Poppy seeds (for topping)
  1                    Egg white (for glaze)

 1. Mix the soy milk, honey, and yeast and set it aside
 for 10 minutes. 2. Combine the bread flour and soy
 flour in a large bowl. 3. Add the oil, eggs, and egg
 yolk to the milk, honey, and yeast mixture. Stir with
 a wooden spoon until blended. 4. Add the flours to the
 liquid mixture, stir until a dough is formed, and turn
 the dough out onto a floured board. 5. Knead until
 dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. 6. Form
 into a ball, coat with a bit of soybean oil, and place
 in a covered bowl. 7. Let rise until doubled in bulk,
 about an hour. 8. Punch the dough down, knead about 3
 minutes, and braid or shape into any desired form. 9.
 Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise
 until doubled, about 45 minutes. 10. Preheat oven to
 375 degrees. 11. Beat the egg white with a folk. Use a
 brush to coat the top of the loaf. Sprinkle poppy
 seeds on top of loaf. 12. Bake at 375 degrees for 20
 minutes. 13. Cool on a rack.

 Baking temperature: 375 degrees Baking time: 20
 minutes Yield: One large loaf This recipe won first
 place in a special competition at the Ohio State Fair
 this year: Cooking with Ohio's Soy Foods, sponsored by
 the Ohio Soybean Council. It also received an "award
 of Excellence" rosette.

 You can also use this recipe in a bread machine,
 either by going through the whole cycle, or by using
 the dough setting and shaping the dough into a large
 braid, which is what I usually do.. If you're not wild
 about soy, you can change the soy milk to water, and
 the soy oil to another kind of oil.
