How to Make Russian Black Bread Rolls Or Loaves
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup water, 1/2 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate until very warm. The chocolate does not need to be completely melted.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup wheat bran, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast. Mix at low speed until moistened.
- Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups rye flour by hand.
- On a well-floured surface, knead the dough, adding 1/2 to 1 1/2 cups additional all-purpose flour as needed, until smooth and elastic. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat the top with grease.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
- Generously grease two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans or baking sheets.
- Punch down the dough.
- **For rolls:** Divide the dough into 24 pieces. Shape each into a ball and place in the prepared pans.
- **For loaves:** Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a round loaf and place in the prepared pans.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Optional: Brush rolls or loaves with a mixture of 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon water.
- Bake rolls for 35-40 minutes, or loaves for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is dark brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped lightly.
- Immediately remove from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack.
