Ingredients

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 cups warm water (approx. 105ºF)
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (you may need slightly more or less)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water)
1 1/2 teaspoons old fashioned rolled oats optional garnish

Instructions

Place the honey, molasses, and warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top.
Allow the yeast to dissolve and become foamy (approx. 5 minutes).
Add about 2/3 of the flour, the butter, cocoa, and salt, & stir together until a sticky dough forms.
Add more flour (a little at a time) while continuing to stir, until the dough gathers itself into a ball and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl (you may need slightly more or less flour).
Knead the dough for 10 minutes. (If you skimp on this step your bread could come out crumbly.)
Lightly mist the bowl with non-stick spray, place the dough back in, cover, and allow it to rise in a warm place until puffed (approx. 45 minutes).
Punch the dough down and knead it a few times, shaping it into a smooth oblong.
Place it in a lightly greased, standard-sized loaf pan.
Mist a sheet of plastic wrap with non-stick spray & lightly cover the unbaked loaf.
Set in in a warm place and allow it to rise a second time (approx. 45 minutes).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Uncover the loaf, brush the top with egg wash, and sprinkle the oats on top.
Bake until the bread reaches an internal temperature of about 185 degrees F (approx. 30 to 40 minutes).
