Time 2h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups warm water
¼ cup molasses
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 ½ cups bread flour, plus more for kneading
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup rye flour
⅓ cup cornmeal
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Stir warm water, molasses, and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Add canola oil.
  • Mix bread flour, whole-wheat flour, rye flour, cornmeal, cocoa powder, vital wheat gluten, and salt in a bowl. Add slowly to yeast mixture. Fit the mixer with the dough hook attachment; turn to medium speed and let dough mix for 15 minutes.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead by hand until no longer sticky, but smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed, 3 to 5 minutes. Grease a large bowl.
  • Transfer dough to greased bowl, turning to coat dough on all sides. Cover bowl; let rise in a warm area until doubles in size, 30 minutes. Grease a loaf pan.
  • Punch dough down and transfer to greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

I'm not sure this recipe is for me. I found the bread to be a bit too dense and heavy.

This bread is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use less rye berries.

This recipe is really great! The bread is so soft and pillowy, and it has the perfect amount of sourness.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread turned out really dry. I'm not sure if I didn't add enough water or if I cooked it too long.

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my bread didn't rise very much. It's still delicious, but it's a bit dense.
