OAT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
My Danish great grandmother made a bread very similar to this when my dad was a child. Going off memories my dad helped me recreate her recipe. This bread a deep golden brown on the outside and moist on the inside. Everyone agrees it's delicious toasted.

Steps:
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan to no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast overtop and let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes; stir in the sugar.
- Whisk the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oatmeal, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the milk mixture into the well. Stir until the dough has pulled together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
- Grease 2 8x4-inch loaf pans. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly-floured surface. Use a knife to divide the dough into two equal pieces - don't tear it. Shape into dough rounds and let rest for 10 minutes. Form the dough into loaves and place into the prepared pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

WHOLE WHEAT OKARA BREAD
In my relentless pursuit of recipes that use okara (since getting a soymilk maker about 2 years ago I seem to always have tons of the stuff around!), I found this delicious bread recipe on vegweb.com and adapted it just a bit. Hearty, healthy, and chock-full of protein, this is a great bread for anyone looking to include more soy in their diet---and to get rid of some of that okara that's lying around! Oh, and did I mention that it's also vegan ; ) !

Steps:
- Heat the okara and soy milk, until they are at about 125 degrees (i.e., very warm to the touch). Add the salt, oil, and molasses, and stir to blend. Sprinkle the yeast over the okara mixture and stir gently (the yeast should foam slightly). Let the mixture sit in a warm, draft-free place for 5-10 minutes so that the yeast can proof.
- In a separate bowl, combine the bread flour and the whole wheat flour. Gently stir/fold the flour mixture into the okara mixture until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then drape a towel on top. Let the dough sit in a warm, draft-free area for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- After the dough is about 2x its original size, punch down the dough while still in the bowl, then take it from the bowl and put it on a floured surface. Kneed the dough for a few minutes, folding in additional flour (from 1/4-1 cup) so that it becomes a firm, elastic dough. Mold the dough into a elongated ball shape and place into an oiled, suitably-sized bread pan. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and drape a towel on top, and let it rise for a second time for about 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Make several slices in the top of the dough to allow some steam to escape. Place the bread pan on the middle shelf in oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap on it.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and enjoy some fresh, homemade bread as soon as it's cool enough to slice!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet or an 8- or 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
- Sift whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together until well combined. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough that's firm enough to hold its shape.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and velvety, 2 to 3 minutes. It will seem very crumbly for a while until everything gets incorporated.
- Form into a round loaf and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Cut a cross on the top of the loaf with a very sharp, floured knife. (The cross is a characteristic of soda bread.)
- Bake in the preheated oven until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when you tap on it, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

OKARA "CRAB" CAKES
This recipe comes from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. I was looking for recipes to use Okara after I received my soymilk maker and this is one that I found. Use a food processor to chop of the vegetables quickly. I've also let the mixture rest overnight with no problems. Prep time includes the 10 minutes to rest the mixture. Now, you won't mistake these patties for real Maryland Crab Cakes by any means. But, if you're looking for something a little different, you may find these are a good option.

Steps:
- Whirl the bread in a food processor into fine crumbs.
- Place the crumbs on a baking sheet and toast in oven for about 8 minutes, or until dry and toasty. Remove and set aside for later.
- In a non-stick skillet, cook the celery, onion, carrot, pepper and parsley until softened (about 5 minutes.).
- In a large bowl, combine the okara, sauteed veggies, oatmeal and seasonings. Mix well and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Use 1/3 cup (packed) to form 7 patties about 3 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. Coat the patty with the toasted bread crumbs and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes. Carefully turn over the patties and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh okara: Fresh okara has a higher moisture content, which will result in a softer bread. If you are using frozen okara, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the yeast to activate and the dough to rise properly.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: A high temperature will help the bread to brown and develop a crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Slicing the bread while it is still warm will cause it to crumble.
Conclusion:
Whole wheat okara bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover okara, and it is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. With its hearty flavor and texture, this bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Give it a try today!
