Introduction

This is my version of "that steakhouse's" rich, dark molasses bread they serve alongside your meal. I think mine's better - there's more grains, less fat, and way more flavour!

Ingredients

    1/4 cup buckwheat honey
    3 tbsp blackstrap molasses
    1 tbsp melted, salted butter
    1 small bottle (1/4 oz) green food colouring
    1 small bottle (1/4 oz) red food colouring
    1/2 cup warm (not hot) coffee
    3/4 cup warm (not hot) water
    2 cups flour
    1 cup dark rye flour
    3/4 cup buckwheat flour
    1 tsp vital wheat gluten
    1 tbsp cocoa powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 packet instant yeast

Directions

In a bowl, stir together honey, molasses, butter, food colouring, coffee and water. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix flours, gluten, cocoa, salt and yeast.
Pour in the liquids and stir in to form a slightly soft, sticky dough.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead 10 minutes, adding only minimal flour (you want the dough to remain soft). Alternately, knead with a stand mixer for 7-8 minutes, until smooth.
Place into an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and allow to rest 30 minutes.
Divide dough in half and shape into two small (about 15-oz), oblong loaves.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, cover and allow to rise 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Sprinkle loaves lightly with cornmeal and slash diagonally 3-4 times with a sharp knife.
Bake 35 minutes, remove immediately to wire racks and cool completely.
