  1. In a large mixer bowl, combine 3 c. of the all-purpose flour and the yeast.

Using a spoon, stir in whole wheat flour and as much of the remaining all-purpose flour as you can.

Repeat with remaining pcs, using another greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan or possibly a 12 inch pizza pan. Cover loosely with clear plastic wrap. Chill 2-24 hrs.
