Posted by on January 28, 2013
Ich essen am liebsten dunkles Roggenbrot. I love the smell of fresh bread.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and smelling the freshly baked bread from
my Mum. It makes me sooooo hungry..

3 C plain flour
1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
2 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 Tbsp linseeds

1/3 C molasses
2 Tbsp vegan margarine

cooking oil
2 C water
Instructions
In large bowl, combine the plain flour, salt, cocoa, yeast, and linseeds.
Heat and stir molasses, butter, sugar, 2 cups water and 2 Tablespoons oil until warm (about 110C 115°F).
Add to dry mixture.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead till smooth about 10 minutes
Cover, and let rest 20 minutes.
Punch down dough.
Divide in half.

Cover; let rise until double (45 to 60 minutes).
Bake at 400F/205C for 25 – 30 minutes.

Your bread looks great! It’s a bit unusual using cocoa powder, isn’t it, or is that usual?? Bit of a bread novice here
Yes it is a bit unusual but its a pretty nice taste
makes two loaves too
Your bread looks amazingly rich & fabuliscious too, Thom! I love rye bread a lot!
MMMM! A must make!
thanks Sophie I love it too. Here in Australia you have to find Europe baking companies who makes these kinds of a bread, because you will not find them in the regular shops
Fabulous Thom. You all ready know how much I adore a good loaf of bread. This looks perfect.
Yes I do. I modified the recipe and left out carraway seeds because some friends of mine do not like them (I do though) so I added linseeds instead… The bread, like yours too is filling
feels healthy eating it too
I think the caraway seeds would be fabulous and love the cocoa powder for color and flavor. But linseeds are always nice in bread
I was buying store bought bread for my kids while I was on the challenge so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat it. Nothing like the smell of bread baking. Makes me weak in the knees!
yes same here…. something about the smell triggers the salivating glands (sorry that does not sound nice) but you get the picture… bet your family love
your bread too. It always looks good Somer
