Ingredients

1 ¾ cups whole milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 pack active dry yeast
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup honey
¼ cup salted butter softened
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 ½-2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup oats for the top

Instructions

Warm your milk in the microwave until it is just warm to the touch.
To a large mixing bowl add the warm milk, brown sugar, and yeast.
Stir until everything is combined and the yeast has bloomed.
To that mixture add the molasses, honey, butter, wheat flour, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, the instant coffee powder and cocoa powder.
Using a wooden spoon mix everything together until combined.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover.
Set aside to rise for 1 hour.
Once the dough has doubled in size knead it for about 3-5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Separate into 3 even balls.
Roll each ball into about an 8 inch long loaf and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops with the oats.
Set aside to rise for about 30-40 minutes.
Once the loaves have risen slightly place a 375 degree preheated oven.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Serve warm with whipped butter.
