Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Rye flour
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
Stir in the remaining 1 cup of warm water, molasses, olive oil, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, caraway seeds, and salt into the yeast mixture.
Add the rye flour, whole wheat flour, and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. The dough should be slightly tacky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a lightly greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a cloth and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
