In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add honey, molasses, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Mix in whole wheat flour, bread flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 3–4 equal pieces and shape into small loaves or logs.
Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the loaves on it. Lightly sprinkle oats on top, if desired.
Cover the loaves and let them rise again for about 30–45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the loaves for 20–25 minutes, or until they sound hollow when tapped.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
