Made whole wheat challah -- my version!
Overnight starter
1 c white whole wheat
1/4 tsp. instant yeast
1 1/4 cup water
Combine all, cover and let work overnight at cool room temp.
Next morning: Add oil, honey, salt, eggs (as called for in KAF recipe) 2 teaspoons instant yeast and 3 cups AP flour to starter, mix as indicated adding more warm water if needed (I live in north central WA state and it is very dry here so I needed about 1/2 cup more water). Proceed with KAF's recipe as indicated.
I did bake at 350F for about 40 minutes on a doubled baking pan. AND I made two small loaves at opposed to one BIG loaf. Turned out delicious!!! :-)
