Ingredients
1 package (or 1 tablespoon) active dry yeast
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
2 cup all-purpose flour
2 to 2-1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup water

1 tbsp poppy seeds
Recipe
Preparation
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the 1/4 cup of warm water. Let stand
for 5 minutes. Combine the flours and salt in a mixing bowl. Make a
well in the center of the flour mixture and add the egg, oil, yeast
mixture and remaining 1-1/4 cups of water. Mix well. Knead the dough
on a floured board, adding more whole wheat flour until the dough is
smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel
and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Divide the dough into three
parts. Roll each third into a strip about 15 inches long. Braid the
strips together and place on a lightly-oiled baking sheet. Brush with
the beaten egg. Sprinkle on the poppy seeds. Cover and let rise until
doubled. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until
golden brown.

* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate for cookies and muffins.
If you have converted your best loved chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you really shouldn't add in those high carbohydrate full-sugar chocolate. Chop up a reduced carbohydrate choccie bar into small pieces and use that in its place.
