Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
  3. Add the molasses and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture, then pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes.
