Sharon, you're right--silken tofu is not something you see every day in a bread recipe! But there are many wonderful things that tofu can do when added to a bread recipe. The soy basically acts as a natural dough conditioner as it helps to bind the ingredients together (particularly the fats and other liquids). This makes for a more consistent crumb in your loaf as well as a softer bread that stays nice and moist. Overall, the addition of tofu makes a lighter loaf that stays fresher longer. It also add nutrition to your bread too, a happy side benefit! We hope you give it a try and see what you think for yourself. It sure worked for the contest winner! Happy baking! Kye@KAF
