<p>2 blocks Firm Tofu<br />
¼ cup Soy Sauce<br />
¼ cup Sesame Oil (optional)<br />
2 Tbspn. Nutritional Yeast</p>
<p>Slice each block of tofu into approx. 2 inch squares (about 1/2 inch thick). Mix soy sauce, oil and nutritional yeast. Place tofu in baking dish and pour mixture over tofu. Place in oven at 350 degrees. When top side is brown turn over and reverse till other side browns. Takes about 30 minutes total. First side takes longer than second.

<p>1 cup melted Butter<br />
½ cup Honey<br />
2 1/3 cups Milk<br />
2 Tbspn. Active Yeast</p>
<p>Combine first 4 ingredients and leave it until bubbly. Then add:</p>
<p>2 cups Whole-Wheat Pastry Flour<br />
4 cups Unbleached White Flour</p>
<p>Mix with a rubber scraper or wooden spoon until liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle more flour on the dough and scrape from bowl to a well-floured counter. Sprinkle more flour on the dough. The secret from this point, is only add enough flour to keep the dough from sticking. Knead firmly for 3-4 minutes.</p>
<p>Shape the dough into desired shapes and put onto an oiled baking sheet or into a bread pan. Set in over on warm for 10 minutes. Turn up oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 25 minutes. This dough is very versatile and makes good bread, buns, cinnamon rolls, manapua, pizza crusts, etc.</p>
