Whole Wheat Okara Bread image

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 ; ) !

Time 2h40m

Yield 1 loaf, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup soymilk
1 cup okara
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 3 tablespoons other oil
1 tablespoon molasses
1 (1/4 ounce) packet quick-rising yeast
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

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!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out. It was too dense and crumbly.

I found this bread to be a bit dry. I had to add some extra butter to make it more palatable.

The only thing I didn't like about this bread is that it's a bit dense. I prefer a lighter, fluffier bread.

This bread is a great option for people with gluten sensitivities. It's made with whole wheat flour, which is naturally gluten-free.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover okara. I had some leftover from making soy milk, and I was looking for a way to use it up. This bread was the perfect solution!

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this bread was to make. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to follow the instructions easily and the bread turned out perfectly.

This bread is a game-changer! It's so moist and flavorful, and it has a beautiful golden crust. I love that it's made with whole wheat flour and okara, which makes it a healthier choice than traditional white bread.
