Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Rye flour
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.

Step 2

Stir in the remaining 1 cup of warm water, molasses, olive oil, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, caraway seeds, and salt into the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Add the rye flour, whole wheat flour, and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. The dough should be slightly tacky.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a lightly greased loaf pan.

Step 7

Cover the loaf with a cloth and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 9

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