List of Ingredients



• 3 to 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  
• 1 pkg. yeast
  
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
  
• 1 tsp. salt
  
• 1 1/2 c. very warm water (125 to 130F)
  
• 2 Tbsp. margarine, softened
  
• 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
  
• Cooking spray
  






Instructions



1. In large Ziploc bag, combine 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add water and margarine. Close bag. Knead and work the bag with fingers to blend the ingredients.
   
   
2. Add whole wheat flour. Close bag again and work dough until flour is well blended.
   
   
3. Add 1 c. more all-purpose flour. Close bag and work dough until flour is well blended and soft dough is formed.
   
   
4. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding flour as necessary, about 8-10 minutes. Spray dough with cooking spray; cover with bag; let rest 10 minutes.
   
   
5. Punch dough down. Divide into two equal pieces. Roll each into 11 x 7 inch rectangle. Roll up tightly from short end; pinch seam and ends to seal.
   
   
6. Place seam side down in two bread loaf pans which have been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
   
   
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
