A delicious recreation of the Cheesecake Factory's brown bread made with a blend of bread and whole wheat flour, enriched with honey, molasses, and cocoa powder, resulting in a rich, flavorful loaf.
1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
2: In another bowl, add sugar and yeast to warm water and let yeast bloom for a few minutes.
3: Then add in the honey, molasses, and olive oil, and mix well.
4: Add in the flour mixture and knead for about 10-12 minutes, adding a bit of flour if needed.
5: Place the dough back in a bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6: Once ready, punch the dough down and divide it into 4 pieces, rolling each into logs.
7: Sprinkle the bottom of a bread pan or baking pan with cornmeal and place the rolls on top.
8: Score the tops of the loaves, brush with warm water, and top with oats.
9: Cover and let rise again for another 30-40 minutes.
10: Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
