Ingredients:





     1 pk (or 1 tablespoon) Active Dry


          -Yeast


     2 tb Sugar


   1/4 c  Warm Water (110 to 115


          -degrees)


     2 c  All-Purpose Flour


     2    To 2-1/2 c Whole Wheat Flour


   1/2 ts Salt


     1    Egg


     2 tb Vegetable Oil


 1 1/4 c  Water


     1    Egg, beaten


     1 tb Poppy Seeds






  Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the 1/4 cup of warm water. Let stand


 for 5 minutes.


 


  Combine the flours and salt in a mixing bowl.  Make a well in the


 center of the flour mixture and add the egg, oil, yeast mixture and


 remaining 1-1/4 cups of water. Mix well. Knead the dough on a floured


 board, adding more whole wheat flour until the dough is smooth and


 elastic. Place in an oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let rise


 until doubled, about 1 hour.


 


  Divide the dough into three parts.  Roll each third into a strip


 about 15 inches long.  Braid the strips together and place on a


 lightly-oiled baking sheet.


  Brush with the beaten egg.  Sprinkle on the poppy seeds. Cover and


 let rise until doubled.


 


  Bake in a 375-degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden


 brown.
