tephraI love it, the darker the better, and finally I have a good recipe for it using the bread machine.
1 1/8 cup warm water
1/3 cup molasses
1 1/2 Tbsp oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup rye flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp dry active yeast
Run through your bread machine set for a 1.5 pound loaf on the whole wheat setting. This bread actually rises more than my normal white bread recipe and has a wonderfully fine crumb.
This recipe isn't as dark as I would like, but we were only able to find light rye flour, so it might be dark enough if I could get some dark rye. Also, the molasses on hand was black strap, which along with the cocoa powder might be adding a bit of bitterness that would be avoided with a less harsh variety of molasses. I like it fine as is however, and seeing as how I'm the one with the extra taste buds in the household.... :D
The original recipe is here if you want to see what changes I made.
