- 1 * 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 * 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/2 * 1/2 cup honey
- 3 * 3 tablespoons shortening
- 1 * 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 * 1 egg
- 1/4 * 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, honey, shortening, salt, egg, sesame seeds, whole wheat flour and 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a stiff 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 dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves.
