Ingredients
- 2 cups water warm
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 cup rye flour
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water hot
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, salt, caraway seeds, molasses, unsweetened cocoa powder, and rye flour. Mix on a low speed using a dough hook until combined.
- Add in 3 cups of the all-purpose flour and knead until combined. Continue adding flour 1/4 cup at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a tea towel and let rise 90 minutes.
- Preheat a pizza/baking stone in the oven to 450 degrees. Place a shallow pan on the rack below the baking stone.
- Divide dough in half and shape each into a loaf by stretching the dough from the top center of the dough ball over the edges, and then underneath. It should look and feel like you are holding the loaf with two hands and are pulling the dough inside out with your thumbs. Give several of those pulls with your thumbs. This should only take about 30 seconds.
- Dust a pizza peel or wooden cutting board with cornmeal. Put the loaf on the prepared board and let it rise for another 40 minutes.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the 1/4 cup water. Microwave for 45 seconds. Brush the cornstarch liquid on top of the loaf and cut several parallel lines on the top.
- Bake the loaf directly on the stone. When you put the loaf in, pour a tall glass of water into the shallow pan below. It'll pop and sizzle and steam, so watch your hands. Close the oven door and bake for 30 minutes.
