Guest guest Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have a bread cookbook that calls for whey powder in many of the recipes. Does anyone know what I can use as a vegan substitute for that? I'm not even sure what the consistency of whey powder would be. I've been replacing it with soy milk powder but the breads have been heavy and I'm not sure if that's the reason of if that's just the way the recipes are!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I've never tried it before, but I found this in a search: >Can you (or anyone) think of a substitution for the sweet whey >powder.

Whey is what's left over after your curdle the solids out of milk. When you make tofu the same thing happens. You get the solids (tofu) and a transluscent liquid. You could use this for the whey substitute (and cut down the liquid). If it were me I'd just use water with a little soymilk in it for sweetness (whey is slightly sweet and slightly acid) :-) jk --------------- MESSAGE bread-bakers.v105.n033.4 --------------- L bread recipe substitutions Sun, 31 Jul 2005 06:58:04 -0700 (PDT) Sue, I would probably just leave out the whey powder because I have forgotten it before and the bread was still good. Maybe just increase the gluten a tiny bit. The whey seems to soften the bread the same way the milk does and it sweetens it a little more. It's tasty bread! But I think you could just leave it out without a problem. Hope this helps!
