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.
