           Jim Vorheis 
      5 c  Whole wheat flour 
  2 1/2 c  White flour 
    1/3 c  Sugar 
      2 ts Sugar 
      2 ts Soda 
      2    Eggs 
  2 1/4 c  Buttermilk 
      1 c  Softened butter or margarine 
  
  In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 
  sugar, soda and salt.  In a separate bowl beat eggs 
  until frothy and add buttermilk. Combine milk mixture 
  and softened butter with the flour mixture and beat 
  with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.  Add white flour 
  gradually and turn dough out onto a floured board. 
  Knead thoroughly. Divide dough in half and shape into 
  2 round balls. Flatten the tops slightly and, with a 
  knife, cut an "X" about 1/2 inch deep. Put loaves on a 
  greased cookie sheet or into 2 9x5-inch loaf pans. 
  (For loaf pans, cut slash down center lengthwise.) 
  Bake at 400 F for 50 minutes.  Cool before cutting 
  into thin slices.
