• dissolve yeast in warm water. add honey, and stir well. mix in whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil. work all-purpose flour in gradually. turn dough out a lightly floured surface, and knead for at least 10 to 15 minutes. when dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a well oiled bowl. turn it several times in the bowl to coat the surface of the dough, and cover with a damp cloth. let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
