Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups stone ground rye flour
  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 (4-1/2 tsp.) envelopes Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
  • 1 cup wheat bran
  • 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine
  • 1 square ( ounce) unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

  1. Combine rye flour, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, undissolved yeast, wheat bran, wheat gluten, brown sugar, caraway seed, salt and coffee in a large mixer bowl. Heat water, molasses, vinegar, butter and chocolate until very warm (120°F to 130°F). Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Mix in enough reserved flour to make a soft dough that begins to clean the side of the bowl.
  2. Turn out onto floured surface and knead 5 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into smooth ball; transfer to a greased baking sheet. Loosely cover dough; let rise 40 minutes, or until almost double in size. Beat egg white and water; brush on surface of bread.
