Seeded Black Bread
I made this as part of fundraiser for The World Central Kitchen. I made Ukrainian Borscht, this bread and cookies.
With molasses, cocoa powder, and espresso powder this bread is the deepest shade of black.
Black Bread
255g water, lukewarm
28g cider vinegar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
28g oil
43g molasses
14g dark brown sugar, packed
18g black cocoa
1 teaspoon espresso powder, or instant coffee powder
1 Tbsp caraway seeds
½ tsp fennel seeds
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
300g Bread Flour
106g Rye flour
Throw it all into the bowl of a stand mixer with a hook. Let it run for 10 minutes. Add more flour if too moist.
Coat a bowl with oil, turn the bread on all sides, cover and let rise until doubled.
Punch down and shape the loaf. Let rise for 60-90 minutes.
Bake 35-45 minutes at 350 until a thermometer inserted comes out 190 degrees.
I love eggs. I love to cook them and eat them and I love to be social while cooking them…
