In a pot heat the milk, honey and shortening until mixture is almost boiling. Set a side and cool to 110F. Add warm water to a bowl. Stir in sugar and sprinkle yeast over and sit for 10 minutes. Add in the cooled milk mixture. Add in 2 cups of the whole wheat flour and beat for 3 minutes. Add in remaining whole wheat, soy flour, wheat germ, sesame seeds, wheat flakes and just enough white flour to make a firm but not too stiff dough. Knead dough for 10 minutes.
