Directions
In a bowl, beat together the potatoes through salt until smooth. Beat in egg whites along with 3 whole eggs and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the flour, 3 cups of the whole wheat flour and yeast.
Add potato mixture and knead until smooth, adding flour if necessary to form a slightly sticky dough, about 10 minutes.
Place dough in oiled bowl, cover loosely with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Brush foil-lined baking sheet with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Divide in half and roll each into a long, thick rope. Brush each with remaining egg.
Coat one roll in poppy seeds, the other in sesame seeds.
Place ropes of dough on the cornmeal and loosely twist together. Tuck ends under.
Cover dough with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes - 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 400 F.
Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 F and bake an additional 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and 190F on a thermometer.
Cool 10 minutes on the sheet, then move to a wire rack and cool completely.
