First try didn't turn out as delicious as I hoped. It's still good but nowhere near good enough.

[The Skarzs]

For science, more tests are necessary.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Yes, I did a second test today. I got the flavour right but the texture was completely wrong. I will try again tomorrow. (unless Mum gets sick of me using up all her ingredients, which is a distinct possibility) Nevertheless, I'll try again later.

Three times the charm.

Three times the charm.

*Speaks in nasally voice.*
It's "Third time's the charm"
*Back in normal voice.*
Unless you want to charm it three time over.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Yes, three times the charm.
Take three is in process now.

[Verdauga]

Ah.


But what is the charm?

[shisteer of nothing much]

Delicious bread, of course! (and also penguins-may they live forever)

Three times the charm.

*Speaks in nasally voice.*
It's "Third time's the charm"

Unless you want to charm it three time over.

*Slaps Verduga into next week.*
*Charms the bread.*

[Verdauga]

*Slaps Verduga into next week.*

*Comes back* Well, that hurt. How rude.

HEY, GUYS, I TIME-TRAVELED!!!!

[The Skarzs]

Wanna do it again?

[Verdauga]

You wouldn't.

*clears throat*
Hear ye, hear ye!
After much experimentation, ingredients and time, I have finally figured out the recipe for the bread. So, without further ado, here it is:
*Teer unrolls long, floury scroll amidst loud applause*

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Tbs yeast
1 Tbs salt
2 Tbs Molasses
3 Tbs Honey
75g butter
1 egg
3 cups white flour
3 cups wholemeal flour (I used spelt)
500ml warm water
1 generous Tbs cocoa powder
1 coffee

Course of action:
Make a cup of black coffee with one tablespoon of the honey, let sit.
Combine all ingredients except cocoa powder, water and coffee.
Put coffee and cocoa powder in measuring jug, then top it up with water till it's 500mls and stir to get rid of lumps. (the cocoa powder generally gets a bit lumpy)
Poor liquid into dry ingredients, then:

Method One: Turn the bread maker on dough setting and press start.

Method Two: Kneed mixture thoroughly, then let rise for twenty minutes. Repeat process three or four times.

Divide dough into however many blobs on an oven tray (in whatever shape you want), make a glaze with a little bit of boiling water and a teaspoon of honey, brush glaze onto bread, sprinkle with oats, put in the oven (which is preheated to 180 degrees Celcius) and wait till it looks and smells about right, then take it out, let sit for a while and enjoy! (please note, measurements, except for the water, are approximate. Some people like things sweeter, stronger or less sweet or strong. You can adjust recipe to your tastes)

*rolls scroll back up*
Thus ends the experiment. If you need any help or advise, I am now and forever after, your loyal servant, Teer. *bows and leaves stage amidst more cheering*

I'm impressed that you came up with that so quickly.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Thanks! It's based off my mum's normal bread recipe so it wasn't particularly hard to adapt it. (and it took me about a week to figure out so it wasn't particularly quick)
