Prepare the ground prunes by chopping them finely or pulsing them in a food processor until they become a paste-like consistency.
Add the water, molasses, brown sugar, and vegetable oil to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules over the liquid ingredients.
Carefully add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and rye flour to the bread machine pan, ensuring the flours completely cover the liquid layer.
Sprinkle the caraway seeds and ground prunes on top of the flour layer.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast, ensuring it does not touch any liquids at this stage.
Close the bread machine and select the basic or whole wheat bread setting, depending on your machine. Choose a medium crust setting if available.
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to your selected program.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
