1. Activate the Yeast

• In a measuring cup, combine warm water, brown sugar, honey, and molasses.
• Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Prepare the Dough

• Pour the yeast mixture into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook.
• Add salt, canola oil, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and cocoa powder.
• Mix on low speed until all ingredients are incorporated.

3. Knead the Dough

• Increase to medium speed and knead for 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as needed.
• Dough should be slightly sticky but elastic and bounce back when touched.
• Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).

4. Shape the Loaves

• Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
• Shape into small loaves or rolls.

5. Second Rise

• Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal and place shaped loaves on it.
• Cover and let rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in size.

6. Bake the Bread

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

7. Cool & Serve

• Let cool on a wire rack.
• Serve warm with whipped butter or honey butter.
