  4. Melt the margarine and add the soy milk.

Work the dough vigorously. Put it on the table and shape it into a smooth loaf. Place it in a greased baking pan with a lid. Make sure it is safe to use in an oven. Let the dough rise to almost double the size. Bake in the oven with the lid on (175 ° C), for about an hour.
