Servings: persons

1 tablespoon yeast (1 pkg.)
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups leftover coffee
1 (1 ounce) semi-sweet chocolate baking square
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups sourdough starter
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 tablespoons salt
2 cups 100% bran, cereal that's been ground in a blender
6 cups rye flour, about

1
Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F degrees.
2
Proof the yeast in the lukewarm water with the sugar.
3
Bring the coffee to a boil, turn off the heat, and stir in the chocolate to let it melt. Add the molasses and stir again. Let cool until lukewarm.
4
Blend together the yeast mixture, the coffee mixture and the sourdough starter. Add the caraway seeds, salt, ground bran cereal and stir in the flour, cup by cup.
5
When you have a dough that you can knead, place it on a lightly floured (all purpose flour) work surface, kneading until elastic and shiny.
6
Place in a large buttered bowl, cover with a towel and let stand in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk. This should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
7
Take the dough out again and punch down a couple of times. Divide into 2 equal pieces, shape these into two round loaves and place on a buttered baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let stand in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
8
Bake about 50 to 55 minutes or until brown and the breads sound hollow when tapped with your finger. Cool the breads wrapped in a towel. Two loaves. Can be frozen.
