Matcha Two-Tone Soy Pulp Bread

Recently, my family has been drinking soy milk every day. Every time I filter the soy milk, it feels like such a waste to throw away the fine soy pulp, so I decided to try making soy pulp bread—and it turned out great! I hope others who make soy milk will stop throwing away the soy pulp because it contains dietary fiber and lecithin, which are really good for you!

After the dough is fully fermented, it will be fluffy and soft. Take it out to release the gas or knead it in the bread machine to release the gas.

Place the formed dough onto a baking tray. Use the oven's fermentation function with a bowl of warm water to maintain humidity. Let it ferment for 40 minutes.

You can use a knife to make cuts on the fermented bread, or leave it as is! (Note: if the seams are not pinched tightly, they may open during fermentation.)

I made cuts with a knife for aesthetics! Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 18 minutes at middle level with top and bottom heat.

Cooking Tips

Make sure to pinch the seams tightly; otherwise, they may open, deforming the dough after the second fermentation! I chose 180°C with the top heat lower and the bottom heat higher, baking it on the middle rack. However, it's best to adjust the temperature based on your own oven. Properly baked bread tastes the best! Without a bread machine, you can knead by hand until the dough reaches the elastic stage!
