Anyone else obsessed with the yummy brown bread that's served at popular steakhouses?  It is seriously delicious and I've never been able to figure out how to recreate that bread at home.  UNTIL NOW!!!  Guess what?  I've cracked the secret to that delicious steakhouse brown bread - along with the help of some very informative websites. Turns out - the secret is a touch of ---- COCOA POWDER!  Who would have guessed?

I've tried to make brown bread in the past by using molasses and wheat flour to create the golden brown color but the flavor has never been quite right.  It never even crossed my mind to add cocoa powder to a bread dough until I found that little hint on Pinterest. 

It might seem like a strange ingredient to add to bread but trust me on this one - it adds a whole new depth of flavor.  You'll never be able to taste the cocoa powder but it does amazing things to this bread.
