Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and instant yeast. Whisk until combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in warm water, warm honey, and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down, divide it into two pieces, and shape each into a loaf. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover the loaves with a towel and let rise for about 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F.
- Once risen, lightly brush the tops with water, sprinkle with oats, and score the tops of each loaf.
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until deep brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Remove from the oven, cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
