Steakhouse-Style Black Rye Bread delivers a deep, malty richness from molasses and coffee, with rye and whole wheat adding hearty chew and complexity. Cocoa lends a subtle bitterness and inky color, making each slice robust and aromatic. Serve it alongside grilled meats, for dinner rolls with butter, or as the base for bold sandwiches.

1

Place all ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Choose the Dough cycle. When the machine signals that the final rise is complete, take out the dough.
2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Shape the dough into 12 dinner rolls or into one 9x5-inch loaf. Let it rise until doubled in size while the oven heats; they should rise quickly.
3

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes for rolls, or 35 minutes for a loaf, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
