Pumpernickel Bread II


This was requested by Casey, and I used a slightly different recipe than the last time. It came out much darker and richer, and I baked it in a round cake pan, rather than a normal loaf pan. He likes the large, round, rustic style loaves of bread.

Pumpernickel Bread II

1 1/4 c. water
1/2 c. molasses
2 T. butter, softened
2 2/3 c. white flour
1 1/2 c. rye flour
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1 T. instant coffee
2 t. salt
1 pkt. bread machine yeast
1/2 c. sunflower kernels

  1. Add ingredients to bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
  2. Set machine to "dough" cycle.
  3. Wait.
  4. Butter a 9" round cake pan.
  5. Add dough to pan, and bake at 375˚ for 20-30 minutes.





NOTE: there is no wheat flour in this one.

I remember the first time I tried pumpernickel. I was maybe 6-7 and I thought it was chocolate. Not quite.

Looks fantastic though, great color on it.

At the bottom of that slice the photo has a blurry spot, which is actually steam coming off the bread. :)

Great depth of flavor on this bread.
