Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Dark rye flour
• 2 cups Bread flour
• 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to the bread machine's pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first, followed by dry ingredients, and then the yeast.

Step 2

Start by pouring in the warm water, molasses, and olive oil.

Step 3

Add the salt, caraway seeds, cocoa powder, dry milk powder, and brown sugar to the pan.

Step 4

Measure and add the dark rye flour and bread flour, ensuring the flour covers the liquid ingredients entirely.

Step 5

Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. This helps keep the yeast separate from liquids until the mixing begins.

Step 6

Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Dough' cycle. This process will take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on your machine model.

Step 7

Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and place it on a floured surface.

Step 8

Shape the dough into your desired bread shape or transfer it to a greased loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the dough loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is firm and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
