• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

DIRECTIONS

• Sprinkle yeast over warm water in large bowl of electric mixer; add honey. Let stand until yeast is soft (about 5 minutes). Mix in salt and 1/2 cup of the unbleached flour. Beat at medium speed until elastic (about 3 minutes).
• Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Gradually beat in whole wheat flour and remaining 1 cup unbleached flour to make a soft dough. Beat in butter, a tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
