Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups dark rye flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1.25 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dark rye flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, caraway seeds, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, molasses, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until you get a rough dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more all-purpose flour, a tablespoon at a time, as needed.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Shape it into a round or oval loaf as desired.
Place the shaped loaf onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet.
Cover the loaf lightly and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it's slightly puffy.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and has a deep brown color.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve slices with your favorite toppings or as a side to complement hearty soups and stews.
