• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 beautif ...

• 3 teaspoons dried yeast
• 2 cups bread flour
• 1 ½ cups rye flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
• 1 tablespoon caraway seed (more or less according to taste)
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon golden syrup
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 ½ cups water

Directions:

1. Place all of the above ingredients, accurately measured and in the order I have listed them, into the bread machine.
2. Select the 'dough' cycle.
3. When the cycle is complete, take the dough out of the bread machine, place it in a well greased bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1/2 an hour.
4. Then knead the dough lightly (while still in the bowl), for about 1 minute.
5. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
6. Either 'pat' the dough into a ball, flatten slightly and pinch all the edges underneath, and place in a round pan and dust with flour, OR 'pat' the dough into a 'log' shape and place in a loaf tin, for a rectangular or 'brick' shape.
7. Leave the dough to rise again, this time for about 1 hour or until it has risen to about double it's original size.
8. Bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes.

Too chocolate tasting, but nice texture. Try it with just 1 tbsp or less. And put the whole thing in the bread maker for the whole duration. I followed the suggestions of two others: reduced the water by 1/4 cup, used honey instead of golden syrup, and instead of instant coffee put in 1/2 cup of strong black coffee as part of the liquid. Turned out perfect. Thanks

No changes needed for this recipe,this is the best drark rye I've eaten. On my second try at this I made a loaf of white bread at the same time as the rye, I then used half of each to make two marble loaves.makes the best toast. Thanks for your recipe

Wonderful bread! I didn't have any problems with the dough being too sticky. I used Light Corn Syrup for the golden syrup. Next time I will try honey just to see if there is any difference in taste. This was so easy and for a yeast bread pretty fast. This will be a standard in our house. Thanks for posting Karin.
