HONEY OF A WHOLE WHEAT BREAD 
3 1/2 - 4 c. all-purpose flour
2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
2 pkgs. Red Star instant dry yeast
1 tbsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 c. water
1/2 c. honey
3 tbsp. shortening
1 egg

In large mixer bowl combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, yeast and salt; mix well. In saucepan heat milk, water, honey and shortening until warm, 120 to 130 degrees. Shortening does not have to melt. Add to flour mixture. Add egg. Blend at low speed until moistened and beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand gradually stir in remaining whole wheat flour and remaining flour to make a firm dough.

Knead 5 to 8 minutes, place in greased bowl turning to grease top. Cover, let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough. Divide into 2 parts. On lightly floured surface roll or pat each half to a 7"x14" rectangle. Starting with shorter side roll up tightly pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 9"x5" or 8"x4" bread pans. Cover, let rise in warm place until double, 30 to 40 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans and cool.
