1 pkg (1/4-oz) active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/2 tsp honey
1 1/2 cups warm milk (110-115 degrees)
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add honey and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the milk, molasses, butter, egg, salt and whole wheat flour. Beat mixture until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a 10-inch rope. Shape each rope into an S; coil ends until they touch the center. Place 2-inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 35 minutes.
Bake at 375-degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.
Yield: 2 dozen
