• Combine tofu, 1 1/2 cups of broth, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning in blender. Blend for 30 seconds or until completely smooth. You want the tofu to be fully broken down. It should look like a smoothie.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together. Dough will be wet. Turn out onto a cutting board and knead for about 5 minutes. Shape into loaf, put in oiled bread pan and let stand for another 5 minutes.
• Mix 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon poultry seasoning, and 2 garlic cloves, minced, to make the basting broth over medium heat.
• When dough is finished resting, baste with one or two baster squeezes of broth. Put in oven.
• Baste again at :30 minutes. (You'll have broth left over.).
• Bake 1 hour. Dough will feel firm to the touch and nicely browned. Broth should be completely absorbed. Let cool for :15 minutes before serving.
• Freezes great!

DRAWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Let the butter soften to room temperature.
• Cut it into 8 pieces and roll them in the flour so that it is all absorbed.
• Put the pieces into a saucepan and place it over a very low heat, stirring and beating with a wire whisk until you have a pale, creamy mixture.
• Gradually add the milk, whisking after each addition; do not worry if it looks strangely rubbery at this point, it will turn back into a creamy sauce as you add more milk.
• When all the milk has been incorporated, add the lemon juice and cook the sauce very gently for 5 minutes, whisking constantly.
• Serve very hot.
