-
In large metal bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with molasses.
-
To bowl, add (one at a time, stirring after each) salt, caraway seeds, oil, cocoa, all the rye flour and 2 cups of bread flour. Continue to add bread flour, one cup at a time, until dough is not as sticky and becomes too hard to mix with wooden spoon. (Note: Make sure you don't see any flour bits or clumps.)
-
Onto clean flat surface, sprinkle ½ cup flour and place dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes, pulling back toward you and then pressing and stretching forward until it reaches smooth, elastic consistency.
-
Coat large bowl with vegetable oil. Add dough, turning to coat in oil. Cover with damp cloth and let dough rise at room temperature 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
-
Once risen, place dough on floured, flat surface and knead a few more turns.
-
Cut dough into two halves and shape into loaves.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (Note: If using baking stone, place in oven prior to preheating.)
-
Arrange loaves in two oiled 8x4-inch bread pans. Let dough rise again to about twice its volume, about 30 minutes. (Note: After 30 minutes, dough will be visible over top of pan.)
-
Bake for 45 minutes.
