Ingredients
  

  • 2-½ cups wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 pkg active dry yeast
  • 1-½ cups warm water 105 - 110 degrees F
  • 4 tablespoon molasses
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon butter softened
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon cornmeal

Instructions
 

  • Combine yeast, water and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer and let sit for about 5 minutes for yeast activation.
  • Add molasses, honey, butter, cocoa powder, salt and wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Fit your mixer with dough hook and begin to knead over medium-low speed. Add remaining flour and continue to knead until a ball of dough begins to form around your hook and pulls away from the bowl. If your dough is still too sticky and not forming a ball, add more all-purpose flour about 2 tablespoon at a time.
  • Transfer the ball of dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel and let dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. If you have a pizza stone: Place a pizza stone in the oven to preheat for about 20-30 minutes. ** If you don't have a pizza stone, skip this step and use a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle parchment paper with cornmeal and place smooth ball of dough on top. When ready, carefully slide parchment paper with dough onto a baking sheet or the preheated pizza stone.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when you knock on the bread.
  • Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
