As much as I would like to be a vegan, I find it extremely difficult to give my love of milk and cheese. Although I like to use milk and butter for all my baking, I'm actually a more "tofu" type of person and like the idea of exploring recipes that use soy milk for baking.
Honestly, not all cakes and breads made with soya milk that I have tried are good (even one soy bread recipe using Tang Zhong method) but this is the one that I would highly recommended...

Soy Sweet Potato Loaf |
Both soy sweet potato knot rolls and loaf are made with the same bread recipe.![]() |
I have tried one recipe that used both olive oil and Tang Zhong made with soy milk... |

This Tangzhong bread has an interesting taste but texture-wise, it is not fluffy at all... FAILED! |

In contrast, the breads made with these ingredients are great! |

This is my son, happy torturing these sweet potatoes! |

Moist and fluffy bread! Thumbs up, of course! |
Makes 1 x 20 cm x 10 cm loaf and 4 knot rolls
150g golden sweet potato, steamed and mashed
150g white sweet potato, steamed and mashed
2 x 280g bread flour
2 x 1 tsp instant dried yeast
2 x 15g caster sugar
2 x 1/4 tsp salt
2 x 15g rice bran oil or any vegetable oil
2 x 150ml soy milk
Using a bread maker, mix white sweet potato and one set of ingredients together and knead into a smooth dough. Repeat with golden sweet potato and the other set of ingredients and allow both dough to prove for 1-2 hr.
Divide each dough into 4 portions.
To shape dough into a loaf:
Roll 3 of each portion into rectangles (with approximately 10cm width). Stack one white rectangle on one golden rectangle and roll them up like a Swiss roll. Repeat to yield 3 Swiss roll doughs in total and place them all in 20cm x 10 cm loaf tin.
To shape dough into knot rolls:
Divide the last portion of dough into 4 pieces of dough. Roll out each piece into long ropes. Join the ends of one golden rope and one white rope together. Make 2-3 twist and then twist it to form a circle and tuck in the ends at its bottom.
Allow both loaf and rolls to prove for another 1-2 hrs or until their sizes doubled.
Brush the dough with rice bran oil and bake in preheated oven at 160°C fan forced for 20 mins (knot rolls) and 40 mins (loaf). The loaf was covered with foil at the last 20 mins of baking.
Happy Baking

Oh wow! That two color bread looks so nice! I would eat it just for it's looks :D
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe , it seems as if I can smell the bread , yummy and delicious thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Zoe, have you changed something about the setting of your blog? I overlooked this posting & I think also your previous posting. From behind the scene, in the past, I normally see a small thumbnail picture of your recipe & your name, Zoe will appear first but now, I can't see the thumbnail picture anymore. And it is "noreply" that comes first before your name, that's why I didn't come to visit you as I over-looked.
ReplyDeleteI like this bread recipe, esp how you used 2 different colours of the bread dough to shape the loaf, so clever girl! Never use soy milk to make bread before, this looks new to me!
