The next few posts are going to be dedicated to soy flour breads. Soy flour is very low in carbohydrates and higher in protein than other flours. To begin, I am going to be using vital wheat gluten and eggs but little by little I will start experimenting without these two ingredients to make the recipes vegan and/or gluten-free. The first bread recipe I want to share with you is this delicious low-carb yeasted soy bread. It is fluffy and moist, and high in protein.Enjoy :-D!

Now, how many of you have experimented baking whole grain breads to find out they don't rise as regular white wheat flour breads? Well, this is my way of faking a high loaf with the power of a knife:
Cut the loaf in half, then cut each half vertically into three slices, and there you have it! A regular sized slice of whole grain bread.
Who wants a sandwich?!!
