mixing bowl. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until mixture is
foamy and bubbly.
While yeast is proofi ng, combine 3½ cups of bread
fl our with the whole-wheat fl our, cornmeal, rye fl our,
cocoa powder, vital wheat gluten, espresso powder,
and salt. Add the fl our mixture to the yeast mixture.
Insert the dough hook and mix on speed 2 for 2
mintues. Add the cranberries, walnuts and oil and mix
on speed 3 for an additional 2 minutes.
Continuing on speed 3, add the remaining fl our 1
tablespoon at a time until a dough ball forms that clings
to the dough hook and cleans the sides of the bowl. Set
the timer for 4 minutes to allow the dough to knead.
Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and
allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place, until doubled in
size, about 1 to 2 hours.
Divide dough into 2 equal pieces (about 1 pound 15
ounces each). Shape each into a loaf 10 inches long by
3 inches wide. Line a baking sheet with parchment and
dust with cornmeal. Arrange the loaves equally spaced
on baking sheet. Dust lightly with fl our. Cover with
plastic wrap and let rise until about doubled. While
loaves are rising, preheat oven to 350°F. Cut 4 diagonal
