Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rye flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds (optional)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon molasses
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rye flour, salt, and caraway seeds (if using). Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 6-8 minutes (stand mixer) or 10 minutes (by hand).
- Divide the dough in half, keeping one half plain. In a small bowl, mix cocoa powder, instant coffee, and molasses. Knead this mixture into one half of the dough.
- Place both doughs in separate oiled bowls, cover, and let them rise for about 1-1.5 hours until doubled.
- Punch down both doughs, roll into rectangles, and stack them. Roll tightly together, seam-down, in a greased loaf pan.
- Let it proof for another 30-45 minutes, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm but not too hot to activate the yeast.
- Proper kneading develops gluten for good texture.
- Allow ample rise time for lighter, airier bread.
- Let bread cool completely to prevent gumminess.
- For a more pronounced swirl, twist the doughs together before placing in the pan.
