1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

Place the ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Bake at 375° for 23-28 minutes or until golden brown.
