- 4 cups whole wheat flour (King Arthur's is best)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1⁄2 cups unflavored soymilk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (reconstituted is fine)
- 1 cup currants or 1 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons honey (or other sweetener (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil

- Sift flour and baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a large bowl.
- Add lemon juice to the soy milk; then add the milk, drained currants or raisins, oil, and sweetener (if used) and stir until all dry ingredients are moistened. The dough should still be sticky.
- Knead on a floured surface for 3-4 minutes until the dough can be formed into a very soft ball.
- Place on a heavy baking sheet and gently flatten so that it is no more than 2 inches high. Make deep cross cuts across the top (nearly halfway through the dough).
- Place in 400 degree oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the crust is brown and the bread has a hollow should when tapped.
- Cool on a wire rack at least 10 minutes before slicing. It is best when eaten warm with or without a spread, but is delicious with jam.
