Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast
- 1 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups wheat flower
- 2 cups bread flower
- 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp sugar (granulated)
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp carmel coloring
- 3 tbsp cornmeal
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- It's very important you place the ingredients into you bread machine in the following order: Water, butter, honey, bread flour, wheat flour, cocoa, sugar, coffee, salt, yeast and carmel coloring. This will keep the yeast from activating with the warm water until after it's begun mixing.
- Run your bread machine on the "dough" setting until complete. Your dough may look a bit more moist than you'd expect. You can slowly mix in additional flour, in 50/50 portions, if needed.
- Place the dough in a glass bowl covered with a towel and let rise in a warm dry area for about an hour.
- Separate the dough into two equal parts and roll out into oval loaves.
- Place on a baking sheet and dust with cornmeal.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until the crust makes hollow sound when tapped.
- This bread is supposed to freeze very well.
