2. Add and stir in 2-3 cups whole wheat flour.
3. Sprinkle 1 cup flour on a board and turn dough on to it.
4. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Use more flour if required to prevent sticking.

8. Cover and let rise again until doubled.
9. Knead and shape the loaves into the loaf pans and brush with melted butter.
