This bread has a beautiful, tender crumb with the bonus of a thin, crispy crust (baked in the round and sprinkled on oats). I found the cocoa, or maybe it's the vinegar, to have 'bite' and probably would cut back a tad. It brought to mind that I wish I had a hot Russian boyfriend to impress...but I don't think my husband would permit it.
