Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix water, honey, molasses, melted butter and sourdough starter.
Add in bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and cocoa powder. Mix until a smooth dough has formed.
Transfer dough to a clean bowl, cover it and let it rise until it doubles. It will take from 8 to 10 hours. Remember to leave in a warm spot.
After the first rise divide dough into 4 pieces. Using your hands or a rolling pin, open each piece in a rectangle. Roll into a cylinder and pinch to close. Roll the tops of the loaves in oats.
Place in a lined baking sheet or in a mini loaf pan, cover and let rise for 2 more hours or until loaves almost double, and look puffy and light.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover loaves and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes.
Let loaves cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
