Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and instant yeast. Whisk until combined.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
  5. Punch the dough down, divide it into two pieces, and shape each into a loaf. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Cover the loaves with a towel and let rise for about 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F.
  7. Once risen, lightly brush the tops with water, sprinkle with oats, and score the tops of each loaf.
  8. Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until deep brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  9. Remove from the oven, cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
