1

Sprinkle the active dry yeast in a warm liquid. Add the honey, then stir to dissolve. Let it stand until foamy for about 5 minutes.

2

In a stand mixer, add bread flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt. Mix with the dough hook attachment on low speed until well blended. Add the yeast mixture, beaten eggs, and canola oil. Knead for 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

3

To test the dough, lightly press with a finger. When the indentation springs back immediately, then you know it's been kneaded enough, and it's ready to rise.

4

Form the dough into a ball. Drizzle with oil around the bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Place in a dry warm place and let it rest to rise for about an hour to 2 hours or until it doubles in size.

5

Apply canola oil or vegetable oil on your hands and a clean flat surface. Deflate and divide the dough in half. Roll the dough into 12 inches long. Cut into 12 pieces.

6

Roll each dough in the bread crumbs and place it on a baking sheet, at least an inch apart. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for an hour.

7

Bake in preheated oven at 350F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
