1. 1

   Preheat oven to 500F. In a large warm bowl, put one-half cup of hot water, one quarter ounce dry active yeast and one teaspoon of sugar. After this is dissolved, stir in three-quarters of a cup of warm water. Next, add 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 2 cups of white flour, one cup at a time. Then add salt. When the mix becomes thick enough, use your hands to continue mixing.

2. 2

   Remove the dough from the bowl, and continue to kneed on a floured surface until the dough is smooth. (You may add small amounts of flour to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands) Put the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Then, set it in a warm place to rise for an hour.
