In a saucepan, combine milk, salt, 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar, butter and oil. Heat until lukewarm and butter is melted.

Dissolve 1 tsp. (5 mL) sugar in lukewarm water; sprinkle yeast into water. Stir well and let stand 10 minutes.

Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl and stir in yeast mixture. Add whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all purpose flour and beat well. Let rise for 10 - 15 minutes. Add eggs and beat again. Add enough of the remaining all purpose flour to make a soft, workable dough. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead 10 - 12 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Form dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled. Cut off pieces of dough and form into buns, cover and let rise 30 - 35 minutes or until doubled. Bake at 375F (190C) for 10 - 15 minutes.

YIELD:  25 - 30 buns
