Steakhouse Black Bread - Pumpernickel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups strong brewed coffee, room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup dark molasses
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rye flour
2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Preparation

Combine molasses, cooled coffee, & yeast; set aside to proof.
Combine vegetable oil & brown sugar.
Combine rest of dry ingredients.
Add proofed yeast mixture to the oil & sugar.
Add 1/3 of dry ingredients to wet mixture, then 1/3, and last 1/3.
Place in large oiled bowl, cover with damp towel & set in warm place to rise until double in size.
(Bread making tip - patience is required - do let the bread go through its full rise each time!).
Grease vessel you plan to use for baking (bread pan; 9 x 13 pan, etc).
Punch down, and form in to shape needed for vessel you plan to bake in ('regular loaf', 12 balls for dinner rolls in 9 x 13 pan, longer for baguette shape, etc).
Preheat oven to 357* F.
Let rise until double in size, again.
Bake in preheated oven - 20 minutes for rolls or 35 minutes for a loaf.
Bread is done when internal temperature reaches 195 - 200* F.
