Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 ½ cups rye flour
- 2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add bread flour, rye flour, salt, caraway seeds, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half. To one half, add cocoa powder and molasses.
- Knead both halves separately for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let both doughs rise in separate greased bowls for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down both doughs. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough into a rectangle.
- Place the dark dough on top of the light dough. Roll them up together like a jelly roll.
- Place the rolled dough into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the dough rise in the loaf pan for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten for a better texture.
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly baked bread.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy.
