Recipe ingredients

  • 1 envelope dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup dark molasses
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 cup All-Bran cereal
  • 2 to 2 3/4 cups unbleached flour
  • 1 1/2 cups rye flour

How to make black bread

  • Sprinkle yeast and sugar over 1/4 cup warm water. Stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate and margarine with 1 1/4 cups water in a large bowl set over gently simmering water.
  • Stir until smooth. Remove from over water. Blend in molasses, vinegar and salt. Mix in cereal. Let cool.
  • Grease a large bowl. Blend yeast into cereal mixture. Gradually stir in 2 cups unbleached flour and rye flour.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, kneading in up to 3/4 cup more unbleached flour if needed to form a workable dough.
  • Add dough to prepared bowl, turning to coat entire surface. Cover and let rise in warm area until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Grease two loaf pans. Punch dough down. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and let rest 3 minutes.
  • Knead 3 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each into an 8 x 7-inch rectangle.
  • Starting with long side, roll dough up into a cylinder. Tuck ends under and pinch seam to seal.
  • Place seam side down in prepared pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove bread from pans. Let cool completely on a rack before serving.
