Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dough
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons butter -- softened
1/2 cup honey
2 cups bread flour
1 2/3 cups wheat flour
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast -- (1 pkg.)
Coloring
1/4 cup water
75 drops red food coloring
45 drops blue food coloring
30 drops yellow food coloring
cornmeal for dusting
1. If using a bread machine, add all of the ingredients for the dough in
the
exact order listed into the pan of your machine. Set it on "knead" and
when
the machine begins to mix the dough, combine the food coloring with 1/4
cup
of water and drizzle it into the mixture as it combines. After the dough
is
created let it rest to rise for an hour or so. Then remove it from the
pan
and go to step #3.
2. If you are not using a bread machine, combine the flours, cocoa,
sugar,
coffee and salt in large bowl. Make a depression or "well" in the middle
of
the dry mixture. Pour the warm water into this "well," then add the
butter,
honey and yeast. Combine the food coloring drops with 1/4 cup of water
and
add that to the "well." Slowly mix the ingredients with a spoon, drawing
the
dry ingredients into the wet. When you can handle the dough, begin to
combine it by hand, kneading the dough thoroughly for at least ten
minutes,
until it is very smooth and has a consistent color. Set the dough into a
covered bowl in a warm place for an hour, to allow it to rise.
3. When the dough has risen to about double in size, punch it down and
divide it into 8 even portions (divide dough in half, divide those
halves in
half, and then once more). Form the portions into tubular shaped loaves
about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. Sprinkle the entire surface of
the
loaves with cornmeal and place them on a cookie sheet, or two. Cover the
cookie sheet(s) with plastic wrap and let the dough rise once more for
another hour in a warm location.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the dough and bake it for
20-24
minutes in the hot oven. Loaves should begin to darken slightly on top
when
done. Serve warm with a sharp bread knife and butter on the side. If you
want whipped butter, like you get at the restaurant, just use an
electric
mixer on high speed to whip some butter until it's fluffy. Makes 8 small
loaves.
Tidbits
It is normal for this dough to be a bit tacky and to seem somewhat thin.
Just be sure to add plenty of flour to your hands and work surface when
working with the dough to prevent sticking.
If you are able to find caramel color, you can use that rather than the
food
coloring formula described in the recipe. Just measure 1 tablespoon of
caramel color into the dough mixture where the recipe uses food coloring
and
water.
