This recipe advertised itself as Russian Black bread, but in truth this is more like a pumpernickel than the Russian черный хлеб/ chorniy khleb I remember. It is absolutely delicious though. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons molasses |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 1/2 cups bread flour |
1 cup rye flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules |
1 tablespoon caraway seeds |
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed (optional) |
2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
coarse cornmeal |
Directions:
1. Add the ingredients in the order recommended by the manufacturer and put it on dough cycle.
2. When the dough has finished with the first rise, take it out of the mixing pan and on a counter covered liberally with cornmeal, knead the dough briefly.
3. Shape it into a round or a large, long loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for an hour or until it has risen to 1 1/2 times its original size.
5. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until loaves are well-browned. See Photo
