Instructions: Measure yeast into a small bowl. Add sugar and warm water. Put in warm place to rise. Put remaining water in large mixing bowl. Add half of flour and beat vigorously to develop gluten and incorporate air. Add sugar, salt, and oil and mix well.

Add softened yeast and beat briskly. Add soy flour and enough barley flour to make dough that can be kneaded. Place on floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic. Shape into two round loaves on a cookie sheet. Slash diagonally. Let rise until double in bulk.

Bake at 350 F one hour. Oil top lightly, if desired. Cool on rack.
