Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons dark molasses
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
- 3 tablespoons melted semisweet chocolate
- 2 cups rye flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl dissolve the yeast in the water. Add the butter, sugar, and molasses and mix well. Stir in the caraway seeds, potatoes, chocolate, rye and wheat flours, and the cornmeal. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together, do not over handle. Form into a smooth ball. Grease a bowl, turn the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise for 1 1/4 hours or until double in size.
Flour the work surface and turn the dough out onto the floured surface and punch down. This will allow any gases to escape. Using your hands flatten the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into pieces and form each into a roll about 3 inches in diameter. Place the rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

this this is the LAST time I will spend money on a recipe that's not right. As the other review, it was so sticky you couldn't get it in a ball !!!!! I have tried other food network recipes and had terrible results. Maybe they should get a new proof reader.

wrong kind of chocolate - a little too sweet. Also, a little too much molasses, in my opinion.

I made the dough by Emeril's recipe but it was so sticky I couldn't work with it. I was unsure if the 1/4 white flour belonged in the bread dough or should be saved for when I needed to work with the dough after letting it rise. Anyway, I added it to the sticky dough and I'm guessing that was right because it became much less sticky. I used flour liberally when I turned out the dough and then made two round loaves of bread. I painted each with egg wash and covered the loaves with poppy seeds. To die for delicious with our corn beef and cabbage dinner. Thanks, Emeril for a GREAT recipe!
