• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 1 beautiful loaf of Dark Rye bread

Ingredients

• 3  teaspoons dried yeast
• 2  cups bread flour
• 1 1⁄2 cups  rye flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 2  tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1  teaspoon instant coffee powder
• 1  tablespoon caraway seed (more or less according to taste)
• 2  tablespoons  oil
• 1  tablespoon golden syrup
• 1  tablespoon molasses
• 1 1⁄2 cups water

Directions

1. Place all of the above ingredients, accurately measured and in the order I have listed them, into the bread machine.
2. Select the 'dough' cycle.
3. When the cycle is complete, take the dough out of the bread machine, place it in a well greased bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1/2 an hour.
4. Then knead the dough lightly (while still in the bowl), for about 1 minute.
5. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
6. Either 'pat' the dough into a ball, flatten slightly and pinch all the edges underneath, and place in a round pan and dust with flour, OR 'pat' the dough into a 'log' shape and place in a loaf tin, for a rectangular or 'brick' shape.
7. Leave the dough to rise again, this time for about 1 hour or until it has risen to about double it's original size.
8. Bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes.
