3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided

2 1/4oz pkg active dry yeast

1 cup water

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

4 egg whites

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

Bake at 375* for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown; cover with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent over browning. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (32 slices).
