Chocolate Farina Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet yeast
4 packets Chocolate instant Cream of Wheat (= just shy of 1c)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons pasilla dried chili flakes
Oil or cooking spray

Steps:

Heat the water, yogurt, butter, sugar, and salt until everything is melted Cool until you can comfortably hold your finger in it - too hot may kill the yeast Sprinkle the yeast into the bowl of your food processor (make sure you're using the dough blade) or stand mixer and pour the warm liquid over it Let sit for about 5" to give the yeast a chance to bloom Mix in the Cream of Wheat, then the flour and chilies, a little at a time If using a stand mixer, let knead for 5-8" until glossy and smooth If using a food processor, pulse until it comes together in a ball and pulls away from the blade Lightly spray or oil a bowl, turn the dough in the bowl to coat, then cover and let rise for 45" to 1' (I tuck mine away in the oven) Punch down the dough, form it into a ball and transfer to a lightly sprayed pie plate, parchment-lined tray, baking stone - whatever you're comfortable with Let rest for 20" or so Bake at 375° for 35-40" Cool completely before slicing
