Dark Pumpernickel by Donna Rathmell German

Pedro Arellano

From Bread Machine Cookbook I by Donna Rathmell German

12 oz water

2 tb oil (sometimes I add 3 tb)

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tb cocoa

1 ⅓ tsp instant coffee

¼ cup powdered milk my addition to the recipe)

2 tsp kosher salt

1 cup rye flour

1 cup whole wheat

2 cups bread flour

2 tsp caraway (OPTIONAL see note)

2 ½ tsp yeast

Add all the ingredients to the bread machine in the order given.

Set the machine to dough cycle

Shape the dough into a boule shape after the dough cycle is done. Or bake it in a larger 9x5 loaf pan.

Bake at 375 for 55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees.

Caraway is the flavor that a lot of people associate with pumpernickel. It tastes a lot like dill. Some people love that flavor. However, some people think it doesn't belong in bread. Pumpernickel is served with fish which dill goes well with, I mean, hello, tartar sauce no? Anywho, leave out the caraway if that dill flavor turns you off. It will likely be different from any pumpernickel you have ever had. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Caraway is the flavor that a lot of people associate with pumpernickel.
