Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (105–115°F)
- 2 tbsp (2 packages) of active dry yeast
- 1 pinch unrefined sugar
- 1 cup soy milk
- ⅓ cup (packed) unrefined sugar
- 3 tbsp vegan butter or margarine
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1½ cup walnuts (optional)
- ¼ cup soft tofu (mashed), stirred until smooth
- 2½ cups fine-milled or medium-milled whole-wheat flour
- 3 cups + 14 tbsp unbleached all-purpose white flour
Method
- In a small bowl stir the yeast in ½ cup warm water, and add a pinch of unrefined sugar. Let the yeast activate for 10 minutes.
- To a large mixing bowl add the other ½ cup water, milk, unrefined sugar, melted vegan margarine, salt, tofu, and whole wheat flour. Stir with wooden spoon until creamy.
- Add the yeast mixture, which should be foamy by now, and the walnuts.
- Add in the unbleached wheat flour a little at a time. Stir until the dough is too thick for the spoon, then put the dough on a lightly-floured cutting board or counter top and mix by hand. When all the flour is added, knead dough for around 5–7 minutes.
- Cover dough with a towel and let rise for around 1–1.5 hours. Dough should double in size.
- Knock the dough down once then place 2 equal portions of the dough into 2 greased loaf pans. Let rise about 45 minutes.
- Brush tops of loaves with melted margarine (keeps them from drying out) and dust with cinnamon, uncooked oatmeal, or white flour (aesthetics).
- Bake in oven preheated to 375°F for around 35 minutes. When done, loaves will sound hollow when tapped.
- Let cool, then unmold.
