Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose einkorn flour (270g)
2/3 cups medium rye flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast (1 packet)
1 cup brewed coffee + 1 Tbsp (cooled to warm)
1 Tbsp butter softened
1 Tbsp dark molasses

Instructions

Set aside 1 cup of einkorn flour and all of the rye flour. Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl or bowl of an electric mixer. With a paddle attachment or beaters, beat for 4 minutes on medium speed.
Add rye flour and mix for 1 minute. Add additional einkorn flour and mix again. Texture should be like a very thick gingerbread mix!
Switch mixer to a dough hook and mix for an additional 5-7 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
If you are kneading by hand this may take up to 10-15 minutes.
Place dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Rise for 45 minutes.
Prep a baking sheet with parchment. With OILED hands (I use a little butter), scrape the dough from the bowl and gently shape into a ball. Place on parchment lined tray.
Rise uncovered for 25 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
Slash the top in any desired pattern at least 1/4" deep with a sharp knife. Bake for 30 minutes and let rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
NOTE: Bread crust will seem VERY hard when you remove it from the oven. It will soften perfectly as it cools. Do not remove it from the oven early as the middle will not yet be cooked.
