Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 cups Rye flour
• 1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tbsp Molasses
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Caraway seeds
• 1 tsp Vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and honey. Stir in active dry yeast and allow it to proof for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and 1 cup of rye flour. Add the proofed yeast mixture, molasses, melted unsalted butter, and vinegar. Mix together to form a dough.

Step 3

Divide the dough into two equal portions. To one portion, add the remaining 1 cup of rye flour and caraway seeds. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

To the other portion, add cocoa powder. Knead until the dough is evenly colored and smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Place each dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down each dough and roll out into equal-sized rectangles.

Step 7

Place one rectangle of dough on top of the other and roll into a log, pinching the seams to seal.

Step 8

Place the log of dough into a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Bake the bread for 30 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Once cooled, slice and lightly toast before serving for a delicious low sodium marble rye toast experience.
