minutes).

3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in whole wheat flour, rye flour, and as much of the remaining all-purpose flour as you can.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface. knead in enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (knead 6 to 8 minutes total).
Shape dough into a ball. place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double (about 60 minutes).
Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape dough into loaves. Place in 2 greased 8X4X2 inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until nearly double (30
to 45 minutes).
Bake at 375 degrees about 45 minutes or till bread sounds hollow when
tapped lightly with finger. Cover with foil last 20 minutes to prevent
over-browning.
