2 1/2 To 3 cup all purpose flour
2 c Rye flour
2 pk Fast acting yeast
2 c Whole bran cereal
1 tb Salt
1 tb Caraway seeds
2 ts Onion powder
1 1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Water
1/4 c Dark molasses
1/4 c Oil
1 Square (1-oz) unsweetened

1/4 c Water
1/2 ts Cornstarch
Caraway seeds
In large mixer bowl, combine 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup rye flour,
yeast, bran cereal, salt, caraway seed and onion powder; mix well. In
saucepan, heat milk, 1/2 cup water, molasses, oil and chocolate until very
warm (125-130 degrees; chocolate does not need to melt). Add to flour
mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium
speed.
By hand, gradually stir in remaining rye flour and enough remaining all
purpose flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth
and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
COver, let rise in warm place until double, 30-45 minutes. Punch down
dough.
Divide into 2 parts. On lightly floured surface, shape each half into a
round loaf. Place in greased 8 inch layer cake pans. Cover; let rise in
warm place until almost doubled, about 15 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for
40-45 minutes. Combine 1/4 cup water and cornstarch for glaze in small
saucepan; heat to boiling. Brush on loaves 5 minutes before end of baking.
Sprinkle caraway seeds on loaves, if desired. Return loaves to oven for 5
minutes or until glaze is glossy and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from pans when cool.
