Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Bread flour
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast blooms and becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add honey, molasses, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together bread flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a spoon or using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.

Step 5

Once the dough starts to come together, knead it on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed for 5–7 minutes.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into small oval-shaped loaves.

Step 8

Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet and place the shaped loaves on top. Allow the loaves to rise again for 30 minutes, covered with a damp towel.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaves for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of whipped butter.
