I've been testing various bread recipes to find the perfect roll to serve at my family's Thanksgiving celebration, and this was clearly a winner! The coffee was a crucial ingredient, I think - the bread ends up with a sour but sweet taste, which is delicious. We had already eaten dinner by the time the bread came out of the oven, but my parents couldn't stop themselves from taking an extra slice after trying it.

This bread is absolutely AMAZING! Didn't change a thing with the recipe. I did divide into just 4 small loaves, and baked for 25 minutes. They were absolutely fabulous! Tasted very similar to "Black Angus" restaurant bread. It was very moist,great flavor, fresh and SO GOOD! A keeper for sure !

cooked the whole time in my breadmaker and since I am new to bread making I had to guess on the settings. so I thought I would share what worked for me in case others have questions. I set it on rye bread, light loaf, large size. came out tasty. light fluffy in side and slight crunch on the outside.

The texture was wonderful. Taste not so much! It was too bitter. With butter and honey it tasted better. I'm thinking more sugar next time and perhaps less coffee? I used instant coffee because that's all I have.

This has become a go to recipe for black bread and bread bowls. I use 1 1/2 T Cocoa powder and regular strength coffee. One batch make 4 small bread bowls which are great for chowders. These are also good for hot dips. Thanks for a keeper!

This bread was very good. I didn't use a bread machine, just my KA. I made it yesterday afternoon for supper, but it took longer to rise than I expected, so we had a sample after dinner. I thought that the coffee flavor was a bit too pronounced. I made strong coffee (6T for 4 cups) just for this recipe, but perhaps if I had used my regular strength (1T per cup) it would have been better. I just toasted a piece for breakfast and put a little butter on it and it was delish! I'll make it again.

While the bread tasted great, the recipe didn't say anything about greasing the pan and I forgot! It kinda fell apart when I tried to get it out of the pan. Lesson learned and I'll definitely make it again.

In order to bake this bread in my Zo, I reduced the water to 1 cup. It was still a bit wet. Although it did not taste like the bread I get at our local Outback Steakhouse, the result was wonderful for the first day, chewy crust, soft crumb. However, it dried out very quickly. If I make this again, I would either make rolls to serve immediately or bake in the oven as per the recipe.

I didn't think the bread was too bad, my son kind of liked it, but my husband took two bites,left the rest and said it was terrible. Since he's always the final judge, I gave it 3 stars. The texture of the bread was great I thought. I did double the recipe for a bigger loaf in my bread maker without a problem (no overflowing). I guess it just had an off taste. I ALWAYS reduce the sugar in all my recipes, but in this recipe I actually think I would increase the sugar. The coffee & chocolate actually left a slightly bitter taste and adding a slight bit more sugar may have helped balance the flavors. If my husband didn't dislike it so much I would probably give it another try with a little tweaking.

I was pretty disappointed with this recipe. I did make my coffee too strong, so the rolls were a little bitter, but the texture wasn't that great. The rolls were pretty hard and dry. I had pretty high hopes for this recipe, and was disappointed that they didn't turn out. Sorry, I won't be making this again!

I have had the joy of munching Dakota Steakhouse bison bread - this is about as close as possible... addictive! The only changes I made are to eliminate the rye (lighten the extreme denseness) & add a bit of gluten. YUMMM!

I made minor modifications adding 2 Tblsp honey, 3 Tblsp milled flax, and 2 Tblsp vital wheat gluten. The taste and texture are terrific, the bread stays nice and moist for days, and everyone in our house gave it rave reviews (including the kids).

Walmart didn't have molasses in stock, (typical!) so I used dark maple syrup instead. I let it bake in the bread machine and it was great, very dense, chewy and delicious lightly toasted with butter. Yum!

I'd give this 10 stars if I could. This is my favorite bread recipe - I make it at least once a week, sometimes twice. The only thing I've changed is using 3T of brown sugar and reducing the cocoa to 1T. It's my personal preference. I make it as a loaf or as rolls, delicious either way. THANK YOU for this recipe!!!

This is a very flavorful black bread and well-worth making again and again. I do recommend increasing the brown sugar from 2 Tbsps to 4 Tbsps - it does not seem to add sweetness to the bread, but it does increase the fullness of flavor.

Amazing bread. It has a good rich flavor, a wonderful chewy texture, a looked great. It is what I had hoped it would be. This is a keeper recipe. I do not use a bread machine, but use a kitchenaid mixer with the dough hook. I did not have any oil but olive on hand, so I used 1/4 c of butter. I heated all the liquid ingredients including the butter to 140 degrees(my house is cold right now, including the metal mixing bowl). I put one package of the rapid rise yeast in with the brown sugar, king arthur's w.w. flour, rye flour, salt, mixed it up with the dough hook, and then poured in the liquid. Mixed it well and grdually added the remaining bread flour. I kneaded the dough with the mixer. I let the dough rest while I cleaned up maybe ten minutes. I then pulled the dough off the dough hook and shaped it into a ball, put it in a greased aluminum pie pan and let it rise to double in bulk. I brushed it with egg and put the oatmeal on top. Baked it for 35 minutes. It was wonderful.
