Servings: 2 loaves
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups (12½ oz/355 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (10 oz/282 g) rye flour (or whole wheat)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweeteened cocoa powder
  • 5 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1½ cup (12 fl oz/360 ml) warm water
  • ½ cup (5 oz/142 g) molasses (or treacle)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats, for garnish

Notes

  • This recipe makes 2 loaves, and it freezes wonderfully. Slice your second loaf before popping it in the freezer so you can grab as many slices as you want at a time.
  • If you don't have rye flour, the same amount of whole wheat flour works in this recipe as well. Store your whole wheat flour in the fridge to keep it fresh longer.
  • Make your own molasses!
  •  Molasses and treacle are the same thing, you can use either. 
  • Make the dough and proof it the day before and bake it off the next day.
  • You can make these into rolls or small loaves too!
