Directions:

  1. Mix flour, soy protein, salt, sugar and yeast. Add oil to the water in the large mixing bowl of an electric mixer. Add dry ingredients to liquid gradually.

  2. Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth (8 to 10 minutes). Alternative, a dough hook attachment for the mixer may be used to complete the kneading; beat for 3 to 5 minutes or until a smooth dough forms and clings to the hook in a solid mass.

  3. Divide dough into 8 portions. Roll out each portion to 5-inch diameter and place on baking sheet lightly sprayed with no-stick spray. Press dough with the fingers to make a dimpled surface. Brush with oil and add one of the toppings given below.

  4. Let breads rise uncovered in a warm place (85-90°F) for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  5. Bake in the preheated 400°F oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 8 individual breads with 10 grams soy protein each.

Toppings:

Onion. Thinly slice an onion, and mix with the pieces with 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Garlic. Finely chop 1garlic clove per bread, and mix with 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Zucchini. Thinly slice a zucchini, and mix the pieces in 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Herbs. Add to any of the above, or just with a bit of salt. We suggest using fresh thyme, rosemary, basil, or oregano.
Sundried tomato. Shred sundried tomatoes (packaged in oil or rehydrated) and mix with any of the above.
Cheese. Use Mozzarella and/or Parmesan, fresh if possible. Shred the cheese. If used with any of the above, make sure the cheese goes on first. If unsalted, sprinkle with salt.
