Ingredients
-
1-1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast
-
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
-
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
3/4 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions

1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the brown sugar, butter, salt, whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky).

2.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

3.
Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spay. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
