soy flour uses?
Can you make pita bread from soy flour? Does anyone have a recipe?
Answers:
Soy flour will not develop gluten and it is very high in fat. Keep this in mind when start substituting it recipes.
Other Answers:
Soy flour is great for replacing eggs in recipes (1/4 c = 1 egg) and it is also excellent for replacing some but not all flour in a recipe. It could be used for cakes, cookies, pies, muffins, and generally any recipe you would use wheat or all-purpose flour for.
Soy flour can be used to make pita bread! In fact, here is a recipe:
Yields: 12 pitas
Ingredients:
* 1 cup warm water
* 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
* 1 tablespoon molasses
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 1/2 cups soy flour
* cooking spray
* cornmeal for dusting
Directions:
1. In a bowl mix the water, yeast, molasses, and salt. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes, then gradually mix in the whole wheat flour and soy flour. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth. Place in a large bowl lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
2. Punch down the dough, and knead for 5 to 10 minutes. Divide into 6 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each piece to about 1/8 inch thick with a rolling pin. Cover with a towel, and let rise 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Warm a baking sheet in the preheating oven for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and sprinkle with cornmeal.
4. Arrange the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 6 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from heat and cover the bread with a moist towel to soften. When cooled, slice in half and use a knife to cut pockets in the bread.
I included the link to the original recipe below. Any recipe you might come across for pita bread should work - just substitute half of the flour for soy flour. Also, I included a website on using soy flour (and other soy products) for baking.
