I was a pumpernickel virgin...until tonight!! :>) I approached this recipe with trepidation and consternation only because of the mixture of flours and a totally absent experience making any bread other than good old white bread. But, I LOVE pumpernickel and thought, why not!! This recipe was totally simple to follow and completely understandable. I was actually concerned because the last rise had me going 2, 3, 4 inches over the rim and I thought I read somewhere it wouldn't rise much due to the density. But it did and what a beautiful loaf of bread!! I took pictures and sent them to family with the caption, "Holy cow! Somebody "pumped up" my pumpernickel!! LOL" Can't wait to try it as the corned beef and pastrami are waiting for this glorious bread! Thank you so much! I don't normally leave reviews on a recipe I've tried, but felt this one was warranted!! Sorry so long...
Chocolate flavored bread!! I am in trouble!!
I use my bread machine to mix dough. Just toss it all in at once. I never believe the short raising times in recipes. I let bread rise all night on the counter. Divided into 2 to pans at 5 AM and baked at 9 AM. It is very moist and delicious, hot out of the oven
I've tried this recipe twice and both times the dough did not rise and the center was completely raw. I think the times are way off in this recipe and I don't have enough experience to fix it.
Love this recipe but made some changes. It wasn’t dark enough. Added 1 teaspoon of expresso powder, dark cocoa from king arthur flour instead of just cocoa flour, 1/2 tablespoon carraway seeds, and added 20 minutes to the second rise to create more depth in the dough. Came out fantastic. Will use this base recipe with different flours for different types of bread. Great soft beautiful bread-
excellent flavor. I added instant espresso to the warm milk to get that dark color. Turned out perfect.
It's a pretty good recipe, but I was looking for more of a darker more flavorful Pumpernickel. This is a cross between rye and pumpernickel.
Very flavorful bread. I didn’t have bread flour -so just used all purpose. Also - added about 1/3 cup additional flour while on it’s first mix as it was SO wet. I also added about 1T of caraway seeds as I started to knead. Added a lovely flavor. I’ll definitely make this one again.
This bread was amazing!!! Our new go to for our weekly bread!!!! So flavorful!!!
Made this today and it was so easy and came out awesome!
I loved it. It was easy to make and soooooo good. The only adjustment I made was to make 2 loaves :) My husband ate half a loaf!
I made some adjustments to the recipe, it was a bit dense for me and my liking. So I cut back on the rye flour and added more yeast. Also added some butter and sugar crystals to finish off.
i thought the bread turned out amazing. For me it wasn't quite as dark as the photo but, texture was awesome and the flavor was great.
Was really hard to make, instructions were not clear. Couldn’t find a nickel :-( please send me one thank you.
Love this recipe. The bread turned out wonderfully. Good rise. Great flavor.perfect crumb.this will be my go to recipe for great pumpernickel
I made this last night, and while it was not a bad recipe, was not the DARK pumpernickel I was looking for. Has more of a sweet taste than I am used to in a nice German pumpernickel.
