  This recipe won first place in a
  special competition at the Ohio State Fair this year: Cooking with
  Ohio's Soy Foods, sponsored by the Ohio Soybean Council. It also
  received an "award of Excellence" rosette.
  
  You can also use this recipe in a bread machine, either by going
  through the whole cycle, or by using the dough setting and shaping
  the dough into a large braid, which is what I usually do.. If you're
  not wild about soy, you can change the soy milk to water, and the soy
  oil to another kind of oil. Instructions:
  
  1. Mix the soy milk, honey, and yeast and set it aside for 10 minutes.
  
  2. Combine the bread flour and soy flour in a large bowl.
  
  3. Add the oil, eggs, and egg yolk to the milk, honey, and yeast
  mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until blended.
  
  4. Add the flours to the liquid mixture, stir until a dough is
  formed, and turn the dough out onto a floured board.
  
  5. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  
  6. Form into a ball, coat with a bit of soybean oil, and place in a
  covered bowl.
  
  7. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
  
  8. Punch the dough down, knead about 3 minutes, and braid or shape
  into any desired form.
  
  9. Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until
  doubled, about
       45    minutes.
  
  10. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  
  11. Beat the egg white with a folk. Use a brush to coat the top of the
  loaf. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top of loaf.
  
  12. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
  
  13. Cool on a rack.
