1 tsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in water. Combine whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups bread flour and the salt. Stir in yeast mixture. Knead dough about 10 minutes, working in 1/2 to 3/4 cup more bread flour so that dough is still soft but not longer sticky. Put dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes. Punch down dough. Cover and let rise again until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes. Punch down and let stand 10 minutes before shaping.
