Another question for the cooks

[dss62467]

Have you substituted milk with soy milk when cooking? I'm doing a whole grain bread recipe in my bread maker tonight. I had to use milk and thought of using soy milk instead, but then chickened out. I hate ruining things!

I have never used soy milk to bake with. I don't usually substitute unless I know for sure it will work. Baking is all about chemistry, and soy milk obviously has a very different composition than cow's milk. Most likely, it will come out somewhat different. How different I don't know. However, I haven't really heard anything negative about substituting with soy milk, except that it could brown baked products prematurely. I would be curious to know what would happen. Maybe you could try it someday when you don't care how the bread comes out, just for experimentation!

Happy Baking!

I have been going to try this for a long time but never have. My husband drinks soy milk and I drink nonfat. It seems everytime I think about it, it's when I have to make something to take somewhere so I chicken out! If I ever do I'll let you know how it goes!

I haven't done so lately, but if I use a dairy recipe, I always substitute a non-dairy milk (soy or rice) for dairy milk. I haven't noticed any difference in the results.

I did this last year while nursing my son whose had MSPI and with some recipes it worked, and with others it didn't. It's all about experimenting I guess! Give it a try!

Hi Donna, I know I am a litte late but I figure I will post Anyway I always substituted milk with soy because my husband can't have milk product. I have been doing this since we marry 17 years ago.
