Ingredients

2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups rye flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 (4-1/2 tsp.) envelopes Fleischmann’s^® RapidRise^® Instant Yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
3/4 cup potato water
1/4 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup whole bran cereal
1 square ( ounce) semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup mashed cooked potato
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Directions

Combine 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, rye flour, cornmeal, undissolved yeast and salt in large mixer bowl. Heat milk, potato water, molasses, bran cereal, chocolate, mashed potato, and butter until very warm (120^° to 130^°F), making sure chocolate has melted. Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in caraway seeds and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a stiff dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough in half; shape into smooth balls. Place in 2 greased 8-inch round pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350^°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
