I first made this recipe as directed with yogurt about three years ago and made it every so often because it was fast and generally turned out well. Three weeks ago I was out of yogurt and so substituted an extra cup of soy milk and was delighted with the result - a much moister, but not cake-like bread. I like to add walnuts and dried cranberries to mine, but I am sure any nuts, seeds, and/or dried fruits would work well. This bread lasts us all week sealed in a ziplock bag and is becoming a regular part of my Sunday afternoon weekly preparation ritual.
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups wholewheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup nuts and/or dried fruits, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups soy milk
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Grease and lightly flour bread tin, tapping out excess flour.
- Mix together flours, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in nuts and fruits.
- Combine honey, oil, and milk separately until well mixed. Add to dry ingredients and gently fold together with a fork or spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Spoon into the greased tin and bake until golden and butter knife comes out clean; about 1 hour. I usually loosely cover with foil about 15 minutes into the hour avoid burning. Then again, I am using an easy bake oven....
- Allow to cool 10 minutes before removing from tin and cooling completely on a wire rack.
