   1       pk           (or 1 tablespoon) Active
                        -Yeast
     1/4   c            Warm Water (110 to 115
   2       c            All-Purpose Flour
                        -Flour
   1                    Egg
   1 1/4   c            Water
   1       tb           Poppy Seeds
                        -Dry
   2       tb           Sugar
                        -degrees)
   2                    To 2-1/2 c Whole Wheat
     1/2   ts           Salt
   2       tb           Vegetable Oil
   1                    Egg, beaten

  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.
