Chocolate Bread

Chocolate Bread

300 ml warm water
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon active yeast
350 grams strong white flour
100 grams rolled oats
25 grams cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

Combine warm water with oil, sugar and yeast. Leave it to sit for 5 minutes until the surface has frothy bits on it.

In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients, then pour the liquid in. Mix with a spoon at first until everything is incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured bench. Knead it for about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and leave it to rise for an hour or more, until it is doubled in size.

Gently press the air out of the dough. Shape it into a loaf or place in a greased loaf tin. Cover it and let it rise another 30 minutes.

Heat the oven to 200 degrees celsius. Bake the loaf for 30 minutes.
