Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups whole wheat flour
5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 small onion, minced

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, salt, herbs, onion, oil and water. Beat with an electric mixer on low until moistened, then beat for 3 minutes at medium. By hand, stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape into two balls and place in two greased 2-qt. casseroles. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes. Remove from casseroles to cool on wire rack.

In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside. Punch down dough; divide in half. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll each portion into a 15" x 9" rectangle. Spread filling over each to within 1/2" of edges. Roll up jelly roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal & tuck ends under.
Place seam side down in two greased 9" x 5" loaf pans.
Cover & let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
