looking for 50/50 bread recipe

[Surfside Academy]

I'm looking for a bread recipe that uses both whole wheat and white flour. I have always used Marilyn's whole wheat bread recipe which is fantastic, but my son won't eat it because it's too "wheat-looking." Sigh...Anyway, I'm looking for a new recipe, preferably one that can be make in 2-4 loaf batches (not using a bread maker.)

Thanks! This looks good. I wonder if I should add any vital wheat gluten to it? Maybe I'll try it as written first.
