Rye and caraway give this bread wonderful flavor, while the surprise ingredient of baking cocoa adds to the rich, dark color. I sometimes stir in a cup each of raisins and walnuts. -Perlene Hoekema, Lynden, Washington

Not a fan. The bread was dry and crumbly, and it didn't have much flavor.

The bread was very dense and heavy, not at all what I expected. I think I might try a different recipe next time.
