Ingredients

  • 127 ml coffee, lukewarm ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp
  • 57 ml warm water ¼ cup, at 105-110℉
  • 47 grams honey 2½ tablespoons
  • 64 grams molasses 3 tablespoons
  • 19 grams vegetable oil 1½ tablespoons
  • 12 grams unsweetened cocoa powder 2¼ tablespoons
  • 7 grams salt 1¼ teaspoons
  • 7 grams diastatic malt 1 teaspoon
  • 40 grams whole grain pumpernickel rye flour ⅜ cup
  • 40 grams rye flour, dark or medium ⅜ cup
  • 248 grams bread flour 2 cups
  • 5 grams active yeast 1⅔ teaspoons
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats for top of loaf

Instructions

  • Add the warm water, oil, honey, and molasses to the bread pan. Most bread maker models require the wet ingredients to be loaded first.
    57 ml warm water, 127 ml coffee, lukewarm , 64 grams molasses, 47 grams honey, 19 grams vegetable oil, 12 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Stir the unsweetened cocoa powder into the water in the pan.
  • Next, add the salt, coarser pumpernickel flour, the dark rye flour, and then the bread flour. Top off with the active yeast.
    7 grams salt, 40 grams whole grain pumpernickel rye flour, 40 grams rye flour, dark or medium, 248 grams bread flour, 5 grams active yeast, 7 grams diastatic malt
  • Start the bread machine on either the Basic or Whole Wheat program for 1.5 lb loaf with a medium crust color.
  • Be sure to use a spatula and scrape the sides of the bread pan so all the flours get pulled into the dough.
  • After the second kneading, moisten the top of the proofing loaf and sprinkle generously with rolled oats. Close the lid and let the bread maker finish the program.
    2 tablespoons rolled oats
  • When the bread maker has completed the baking cycle, remove the bread maker pan and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before tipping out to cool.
  • Cool completely before slicing. Breads with rye flour will slice easier if allowed to cool.

Notes

  • Try to include the diastatic malt powder, it aids in the proofing and rise for this rye based bread. Rye breads can be heavy if too much rye flour is added.
  • Bread flour is recommended over all-purpose flour, as it has more gluten which helps in the rising of this bread.
