Combine 1 c all purpose flour, yeast, sugar, dry milk and salt into a freezer bag, squeeze air out and zip closed.
Shake to blend ingredients, then add your hot water and oil into this mixture.
Reseal your bag and work together using your fingers until well combined.
Add whole wheat flour, reseal bag and mix again thoroughly.
Add a bit of the remaining 1 c. all purpose flour at a time, kneading in the bag in between, until the dough stiffens and begins to pull away from the bag.
Once this is achieved, remove dough from bag and put on a floured cutting board to knead with your hands.
Knead for 2-4 min. until smooth and elastic, cover dough in a bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Use a rolling pin to roll dough into a 12x7" rectangle, place in loaf pan that has been sprayed with non stick spray.
Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Put in warm location for 20 min or until dough doubles in size.
Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for 25 min. or until top is golden brown and knife inserted into middle comes out clean.
