Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut flour
• 0.75 cup Vital wheat gluten
• 0.5 cup Ground flaxseed meal
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and warm water. Stir well and set aside to dissolve and cool slightly.

Step 3

In another large bowl, dissolve the yeast packet in 1/4 cup of the mixture prepared in the previous step. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, vital wheat gluten, ground flaxseed meal, salt, and caraway seeds. Whisk these dry ingredients until fully combined.

Step 5

Add apple cider vinegar, molasses, olive oil, and eggs to the yeast mixture, then add the remaining cocoa and coffee liquid. Mix until well blended.

Step 6

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula or dough hook until a dough forms. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands.

Step 8

Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until slightly puffy.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
