Combine 1/2 cup of the flour, 1/2 cup of the rye flour, cornmeal and

chocolate in a saucepan, over low heat, until very warm (120 to 130 Degrees

mixer, set on high speed, til smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1
cup of rye flour and potatoes and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in
the caraway seeds and enough of the remaining flour to make a SOFT dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and
satiny, about 5 minutes. (Dough will still be soft and sticky!) Cover the
dough with the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes. Divide the dough in half
and let rest for 10 minutes. Form each half into a large ball and place on
a large greased baking sheet. Flatten the loaf slightly with the palm of
the hand and brush with the oil. Let rise in a warm place until doubled,
about 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for 30 to 35
minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove from the
baking sheet and cool, on wire racks, until cold before slicing
