-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder
1/3 cup dark molasses -- or buckwheat honey
2 tablespoons canola oil -- or vegetqable oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt
cornmeal -- for dusting
1. In the bowl of an electric mixer with the dough hook attached,
dissolve brown sugar with warm water.
2. Add yeast and stir gently with a spoon.
3. Allow yeast to bloom, about 5 min.
4. Begin adding flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
5. Half way through flour additions, add dark chocolate cocoa powder
and mix throughly.
6. Three quarters of the way through flour additions, add the honey
and canola oil.
7. Finish adding flour. You may need slightly more or less flour
depending on climate at time of preparation.
8. Add salt and mix dough until elastic and smooth. For best results,
a slightly sticky dough yields a fluffier loaf.
9. With oiled hands, remove dough from electric mixer bowl and hook
and knead a few minutes more until shaped into a ball.
10. Place dough ball into oiled bowl and cover, first with plastic
wrap, then with a towel.
11. Allow dough ball to rise in a warm, damp environment until
doubled in size. This may take 3-6 hours. Allowing to rise overnight
is acceptable as well.
12. When the dough has risen, punch down and re-form into ball.
13. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal and place dough ball in the center.
14. Using a pastry cutter/blender, cut "claws" in the dough ball.
15. Cover the "claw" first with plastic wrap, then with a towel and
allow to rise until puffed.
16. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 40 min or until internal
temperature is between 190-200F.
17. Allow bread to cool slightly and slice with a serrated knife as desired.
Makes one large loaf bread.
