Black Bread

"Black from the addition of a little instant coffee and cocoa powder, you either hate or love this bread. Treacle gives it a sweetish, burnt taste and the seeds – especially fennel – come through so distinctly that you need to love that aniseedy flavour to enjoy it. It’s certainly unusual – looks and smells like cake but surprisingly good for a meat sandwich. Truth be told it’s brown bread rather than black – I imagined Pumpernickel type of thing but what it really resembles is a chocolate cake gone wrong, but in a nice way."
