Steps:

• Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Set aside.
• In a large bowl add all the dry ingredients: both flours, cocoa powder, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir together.
• In a separate bowl mix the warm water, molasses, and oil together.
• Add the wet into the dry ingredients until your dough comes together.
• Knead the dough until it is smooth and no longer sticky, roughly 6-8 minutes. You can do this by hand or use a stand mixer.
• Grease the bowl with a little oil place in the dough. Cover the dough and allow to rise until it has doubled in size, roughly 60-90 minutes.
• After proofing, knock back the dough before shaping into 2 loaves and placing in your prepared loaf pans.
• Cover again and place in a warm place till doubled, roughly 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake for about 40 minutes. The dough should sound hollow once tapped on the base.
