2.  Add yeast, whole wheat flour and bread flour. Stir until incorporated. Knead on a lightly floured board for 5 to 7 minutes or until dough is shiny and smooth.

3.  Transfer to a greased bowl; cover with plastic; rise for 1 hour.

4.  Divide dough in half.  Shaped into loaves and place in 2 greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2" pans.

6. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes, tenting with foil after 25 minutes. Remove when golden brown OR inner temperature reaches 190 degrees.

7. Turn onto rack to cool completely.

*Add an extra 2 to 3 Tbsp. water if the dough seems too dry.
