Ingredients

4 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking powder salt to taste 1 egg substitute, beaten 6 tablespoon plain vegan soy yogurt 3 tablespoon non-hydrogenated vegan margarine about 1 cup soy or rice milk 1 tablespoon poppy seeds	Advertisements

Preparation
 

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.

Stir in egg substitute, soy yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the margarine. Gradually stir in
enough soy milk to make a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and place in
a warm place for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C) (Note: I use even higher temp 500F
and place a pizza stone in my oven)

Knead dough on a floured surface for 2 or 3 minutes until smooth.

Divide into 8 pieces Roll each piece into a ball then into ovals about 6
inches long.

If you must use a baking sheet, grease it and brush the underside of the
vegan bread with water. Brush the other side with margarine and sprinkle with
poppy seeds.

Bake 6 to 10 minutes until puffy and golden brown. (This is where the
stone makes a difference)
