Russian Black Bread
Description
This hearty Russian black bread combines medium rye flour, whole wheat, and molasses for a deep, complex flavor. Enriched with unsweetened chocolate, caraway seeds, and fennel, it offers a unique twist on traditional dark bread. The dough is kneaded until smooth and baked to a golden brown, resulting in a moist, dense loaf perfect for sandwiches or toasting.Ingredients
