Makes 2 loaves
1. In a saucepan, warm the coffee, butter, molasses and vinegar
until the butter melts. Remove from heat, and let cool.
2. In a lg bowl, combine the flours, cocoa powder, espresso powder,
onion powder, garlic powder, caraway seed, fennel or dill seed and salt.
3. In a sm bowl, dissolve the sugar in the water, and then add the
yeast. Set aside for 10 min until the mixture is foamy. Make a well
in the flour mixture, and pour in the coffee mixture and the foamy
yeast liquid.
4. Stir flour in from the edges to the center of the bowl until all
the liquid is absorbed and the flour forms into firm, fairly sticky
dough. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface, and knead for 10
min. The dough will be dense and somewhat sticky.
5. Form the dough into a ball, and place in a lg oiled mixing
bowl. Roll the dough around the bowl until the surface of the dough
is oiled. Cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in an warm place
until the dough doubles in size - about 2 hrs.
6. After the dough has risen, gently deflate it by pressing it down
with your palms. Divide the dough in half, and form 2 loaves, either
round or in bread loaf pans. Slash a cross on the top of each round
loaf (for expansion), and place each loaf on an oiled baking sheet
baking in an oiled bread loaf pan, there's no need to slash the top of loaf.
7. Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise in
warm place for 30 min. Brush the tops with egg white.
8. Bake for 40-50 min in a 350F preheated oven until the crust is
well-browned. Cool on wire racks.
