--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        **DOUGH:**
   1 1/2  cups          warm water
   2      tablespoons   butter -- softened
     1/2  cup           honey
   2      cups          bread flour
   1 2/3  cups          wheat flour
   1      tablespoon    cocoa
   1      tablespoon    granulated sugar
   2      teaspoons     instant coffee
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2 1/4  teaspoons     yeast -- (1 pkg.)
                        **COLORING:**
     1/4  cup           water
  75      drops         red food coloring
  45      drops         blue food coloring
  30      drops         yellow food coloring
                        cornmeal for dusting

1.  If using a bread machine, add all of the ingredients for the dough
in the exact order listed into the pan of your machine.  Set it on
"knead" and when the machine begins to mix the dough, combine the food
coloring with 1/4 cup of water and drizzle it into the mixture as it
combines.  After the dough is created let it rest to rise for an hour or
so.  Then remove it from the pan and go to step #3.

2.  If you are not using a bread machine, combine the flours, cocoa,
sugar, coffee and salt in large bowl.  Make a depression or "well" in
the middle of the dry mixture.  Pour the warm water into this "well,"
then add the butter, honey and yeast.  Combine the food coloring drops
with 1/4 cup of water and add that to the "well." Slowly mix the
ingredients with a spoon, drawing the dry ingredients into the wet.
When you can handle the dough, begin to combine it by hand, kneading the
dough thoroughly for at least ten minutes, until it is very smooth and
has a consistent color.  Set the dough into a covered bowl in a warm
place for an hour, to allow it to rise.

3.  When the dough has risen to about double in size, punch it down and
divide it into 8 even portions (divide dough in half, divide those
halves in half, and then once more).  Form the portions into tubular
shaped loaves about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide.  Sprinkle the
entire surface of the loaves with cornmeal and place them on a cookie
sheet, or two.  Cover the cookie sheet(s) with plastic wrap and let the
dough rise once more for another hour in a warm location.

4.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Uncover the dough and bake it for
20-24 minutes in the hot oven.  Loaves should begin to darken slightly
on top when done.  Serve warm with a sharp bread knife and butter on the
side.  If you want whipped butter, like you get at the restaurant, just
use an electric mixer on high speed to whip some butter until it's
fluffy.

Makes 8 small loaves.
