INGREDIENTS

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

1/2 teaspoon honey

1-1/2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)

1/2 cup molasses

1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 egg, beaten

1-1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups whole wheat flour

4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add honey; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the milk, molasses, butter, egg, salt and whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; 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 dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 24 pieces. Shape each into a 10-in. rope. Shape each rope into a "S"; coil ends until they tough the center. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 35 minutes.

Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.

Yield: 2 dozen.
