I got this recipe from a friend of my mom's-it's a recipe passed down for many generations. If you like dark bread, you will love this! It's addictive! Ingredients:
2 cups boiling water |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
1/2 cup dark molasses |
2 tablespoons caraway seeds |
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules |
2 tablespoons active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (105-110 degrees) |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon salt |
4 cups dark rye flour |
1 cup wheat bran, unprocessed |
3 -3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 egg white, slightly beaten |
2 teaspoons coarse salt |
Directions:
1. Combine boiling water, chocolate, vinegar, molasses, caraway seeds and coffee in a large bowl till chocolate melts; cool to 105-110 degrees F.
2. Dissolve yeast in the warm water; let stand 10 minutes.
3. Add to chocolate mixture and add sugar and salt.
4. Mix in rye flour and bran, kneading well.
5. Knead in white flour (I use a kitchenaid).
6. Grease the bread, cover and let rise until doubled.
7. Form into 2 round loaves; let rise again till double.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes; brush with egg white and sprinkle with salt.
9. Bake another 20 minutes until loaves sound hollow.
