Introduction

This recipe makes 2 loaves, 16 slices per loaf = 32 servings total.
It is slightly crisp on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside - the way commercial bread is! It is way healthier than most commercial breads. We've tried this with both Silk and homemade soymilk - it works with either kind.

This takes about 3 hours to make, but it is well worth the wait!

Ingredients

    1 tsp active dry yeast
    1/4 cup warm water

    1 cup warm soymilk
    1 cup warm water
    2 tbsp shortening
    2 tbsp sugar
    1 tsp salt

    1 cup bread flour
    1 cup whole-wheat flour

    1/2 cup whole wheat flour

    1-1 1/2 cup bread flour (more if sticky)

Directions

Mix in a large bowl (set aside for about 5 minutes):
1 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water

Mix in another bowl:
1 cup warm soymilk
1 cup warm water
2 tbsp shortening
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

Add the yeast mixture to the soymilk mixture, then add:
1 cup bread flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour

Mix in a stand mixer on low speed or by hand.
Then add:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour

Knead on low speed or by hand, adding enough flour to the dough so that it no longer sticky:
1-1 1/2 cup bread flour (more if sticky)

Continue to knead for about 10 minutes.
Transfer to an oil-coated bowl. Coat the top of the dough by turning the dough in the bowl.

Cover with a kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise for 60-90 minutes: until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough. Let the dough rise for another hour.

Grease two standard 6-cup loaf pans. Punch the dough again and divide in half. Shape each half into an oval and place it into a loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap (and then the kitchen towel). Let it rise for another hour (until the dough has doubled in size).

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake the loaves for 10 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 350°F. Continue baking for 30 minutes.

Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the loaves from the pan and continue cooling.

Optional: slice the bread up and put it into plastic bags. Will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Will keep on the counter for 3 or so days (unless you eat it all by then!)
