Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Dark rye flour
- 2 cups Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to the bread machine's pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first, followed by dry ingredients, and then the yeast.
Start by pouring in the warm water, molasses, and olive oil.
Add the salt, caraway seeds, cocoa powder, dry milk powder, and brown sugar to the pan.
Measure and add the dark rye flour and bread flour, ensuring the flour covers the liquid ingredients entirely.
Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. This helps keep the yeast separate from liquids until the mixing begins.
Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Dough' cycle. This process will take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on your machine model.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and place it on a floured surface.
Shape the dough into your desired bread shape or transfer it to a greased loaf pan.
Cover the dough loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is firm and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
