Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups bread flour
• 0.25 cup vital wheat gluten
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups warm water
• 3 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• 1 egg white
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup seeds or nuts (optional for topping)
• 1 your choice of high-protein toppings (e.g., cottage cheese, smoked salmon, or avocado)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, vital wheat gluten, and salt.

Step 2

Divide this dry mixture into two equal portions in two separate bowls.

Step 3

For the first bowl, combine 3/4 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses with the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

For the second bowl, combine 3/4 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses, and the unsweetened cocoa powder with the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Cover both doughs with a damp cloth and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

On a clean surface, knead each dough separately for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Incorporate the caraway seeds into the lighter dough.

Step 7

Place each dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let them rise in a warm area until doubled in size, approximately 1-1.5 hours.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Punch down each dough and divide them in half. Roll each piece into a rectangle.

Step 10

Layer one rectangle of dark dough over a rectangle of light dough, then roll them together tightly into a loaf to create the marble effect. Repeat with the other dough halves.

Step 11

Place the loaves in lightly oiled loaf pans. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Step 12

Brush each loaf with egg white mixed with a tablespoon of water to give it a shine. Sprinkle with seeds or nuts if desired.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the bottom sounds hollow when tapped or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C).

Step 14

Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 15

To serve, toast the sliced marble rye bread until crispy and top with high-protein choices like cottage cheese, smoked salmon, or avocado.
