Ingredients and Instructions

1 tb Caraway seeds

1 ts Salt

1 ts Instant coffee powder

2 tb Molasses

2 tb Cider vinegar

1/2 oz Unsweetened chocolate

(I would cut back on that a bit) Cool the mixture to 105-115 degrees and add to dry ingredients. I suspect the exact ingredients don't really matter all that much. As long as the flour-to-liquid proportions are such as to make a dough of good consistency, the result will probably be highly edible.
