Directions

  1. Combine the flours in large bowl; remove 1 cup and set aside. Add yeast and salt to remaining flour in bowl.

  2. Combine the water, honey and butter in medium bowl; stir until butter melts. Stir the warm liquids into the flour mixture; add the eggs.

  3. Knead the dough on a lightly-floured board for 7 to 10 minutes, adding as much of the reserved flour as necessary to form a smooth, elastic dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

  4. Halve the dough and shape it into balls. Place them on greased cookie sheets. Cover; let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until they have doubled in size.

  5. Brush the loaves with the glaze made by beating 1 egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water.

  6. Sprinkle the tops of the loaves with poppy or sesame seeds. Bake at 350°F for 45 to 55 minutes or until brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
