Directions
Combine yeast & water & let stand for 10 minutes.
Stir in oil & thyme, followed by potatoes, honey & soymilk.
Stir gently until mixture is smooth.
In another bowl, combine flours, cornmeal & salt.
Make a well in the centre & pour in wet mixture.
Mix together, then knead in a floured bowl for 10 minutes. Let rise, covered until doubled in bulk.
Punch down dough & divide into 6 pieces.
Roll each piece into a long coil with hands, about 1-inch in diameter.
To make each loaf, braid 3 coils & pinch ends together.
Place on a floured baking sheet, cover with damp cloth & let rise until doubled in bulk.
Brush tops with soymilk & bake in a preheated 350℉ (180℃) for 40 to 50 minutes, until tops are golden.
