This is my version of "that steakhouse's" rich, dark molasses bread they serve alongside your meal. I think mine's better - there's more grains, less fat, and way more flavour!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup buckwheat honey
  • 3 tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1 tbsp melted, salted butter
  • 1 small bottle (1/4 oz) green food colouring
  • 1 small bottle (1/4 oz) red food colouring
  • 1/2 cup warm (not hot) coffee
  • 3/4 cup warm (not hot) water
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup dark rye flour
  • 3/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 tsp vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 packet instant yeast

Directions
  1. In a bowl, stir together honey, molasses, butter, food colouring, coffee and water. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flours, gluten, cocoa, salt and yeast.
  3. Pour in the liquids and stir in to form a slightly soft, sticky dough.
  4. Turn out onto a floured board and knead 10 minutes, adding only minimal flour (you want the dough to remain soft). Alternately, knead with a stand mixer for 7-8 minutes, until smooth.
  5. Place into an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and allow to rest 30 minutes.
  6. Divide dough in half and shape into two small (about 15-oz), oblong loaves.
  7. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, cover and allow to rise 1 hour.
  8. Preheat oven to 350F.
  9. Sprinkle loaves lightly with cornmeal and slash diagonally 3-4 times with a sharp knife.
  10. Bake 35 minutes, remove immediately to wire racks and cool completely.

JO JO,

This one I would very much like to try~~Question,please~~would I have to use the food coloring in the recipe,may I leave it out without jeopardizing the recipe?

I like all the rich goodness of this one.

Thank-you

Kind Regards


Yup you can its just for the dark color


Great share! Thanks so much. I have tried "that steakhouses" bread-with the food coloring (which I'm not crazy about!)-this bread sounds way better.
Question---->if one increases the cocoa powder to 3 TBSP (like I do with my sauerkraut rye to get a nice dark bread) one could probably skip the food coloring all together....do ya think so???


It still isn't as dark... I've tried it before... the real recipe uses caramel colour which is even worse. If you don't mind the (minimal) taste, use beet juice for the red colour and spinach or kale juice for the green. Even if you leave it out completely, the bread is wonderful in taste.


I have been looking for the recipe for soooo long for that molases bread!!! I am looking forward to making this along side my holiday meals,, ty!!
