Makes 1 loaf

What you need:

  • 1-1/4 cups soymilk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins

What you do:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the soymilk, vinegar, and oil in a bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until blended. Stir in the raisins. Add the soymilk mixture and mix well to make a stiff dough.
  3. Shape dough into a round loaf and place on a lightly-oiled baking sheet. Pat the top down slightly, then use a sharp knife to cut an X shape on top. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
