1 cup plain yogurt (or milk, soured with 1 Tblsp. vinegar)
2 Tblsp. honey
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2-1/2 cups unbleached white flour
2 pkgs. (5 Tblsp.) active dry yeast
1 tsp. salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 to 2 cups whole wheat flour
Heat first four ingredients in small pan until very warm (115 F).
Place white flour, yeast, salt, and garlic into a warmed mixing bowl and pour warm liquid over top. Blend at low speed until moistened. Continue at medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in wheat flour with wooden spoon until soft dough is formed.
Turn onto well-floured board and kneed until smooth (8-10 min). Place in greased bowl, turn once, and cover. Let rise in warm place 1 hour or until doubled. Punch down and divide into 3 equal parts. Form each part into long smooth rolls ("snakes"). Join them securely at top and braid carefully. Pinch ends together. Place on well-greased baking sheet; cover and let rise until doubled (30 min).
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Bake 25 minutes or until golden. If desired, brush with melted butter.
