Melon Soya Loaf Bread/ Sponge Dough Method - Bread # 12

Pin It Now!

I read from somewhere ground soya bean is used in making pancake and dishes. I believe the used ground soya bean (leftover from soya milk making) still has its nutritious value and is a waste to throw away. Sometimes, I will keep inside the freezer for later used. I baked scone with ground soya bean before. The scone is not outstanding but is ok to eat. This time I add into bread. The used bean able to contribute soya fragrant to the bread.
