My Swedish grandmother always used beet syrup (available on-line) and the flavor is not as strong as molasses. Yummy !

Apparently I don't like Rye bread. The molasses flavor is why to strong.

This really was great! Bought Organic Rye Flour at the market last night and wanted to find a good recipe for rye bread. This was it! I was worried about the cocoa powder at first but you can't taste it one bit. Before baking I brushed on a little bit of milk and sprinkled on some dry oats and it looks just like the loaf that's served at Outback Steakhouse... and tastes close to it as well. I halved the recipe since I was trying it out for the first time but will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing :)

WOW! This is the most delicious bread ever! I only had about half the molasses required, and substituted carob powder for the cocoa. I only put about 1 tsp salt. Even with those changes it tasted amazing (although next time I'll hopefully have enough molasses, and some cocoa powder!). I added about half a cup of raisins and next time I'll definitely add way more - it was divine. Thank you for this amazing recipe!

This bread was good, especially straight out of the oven. however, i think there's just too much molasses. but i will try it again because it was great fresh out of the oven.

This is a remarkably simple and versatile recipe. The quality of the bread is outstanding and has a great taste. I will admit this was my first encounter with making Rye bread and the rise times took a bit longer than say white bread recipes, but I did not shape for rounds I made 2 standard 9x5 inch loaf pan loafs. Everyone in my family that has tried this recipe loves it and I intend to sock this bad boy away and reuse it for years to come!
