First of all I omited the coffee because we don't drink it and never have it on hand. I prepared the dough in my bread machine and divided it among four lightly greased mini loaf pans. It rose uncovered in my oven on the warm setting for 30 minutes. I turned the heat up to 350 F and set the timer for 30 minutes, then forgot about it until the timer rang. I turned it out onto a wire rack and brushed the tops with real butter. WOW! Great bread! Aromatic, flavorful, full bodied, small crumb texture...firm, yet lighter than expected. I can't wait to make this for my German mother-in-law who is a bread snob of the worst kind, as most European's are (and for good reason). I've taken a picture to share. You'll know it's mine by my Blue Willow China in the background and the cranberry garnish. This bread recipe will go into the official family cookbook for sure. After my little photo shoot I enjoyed a couple slices with a cream cheese but my boys, 3 and 4 yrs old finished off one of the loaves plain. Tonight we're having leftover Roast Sticky Chicken, fresh fruit and herb tea for dinner. This bread with butter, slices of honey cured ham, and good havarti cheese will be a perfect compliment. Thanks! :o)

I made this bread with a little milk (instead of dry milk) and a little coffee (instead of instant). Also, I made it using my mixer with dough hook instead of a bread machine. It worked very well. Best pumpernickel I have tasted!

Absolutely the best Pumpernicklel bread I,ve tasted! Bread lasted only a few hours!! (and it was quite a large loaf!!! Beautiful with sliced Gruyere cheese, ham, mustard and sliced tomato! Or just with cottage cheese or even just buttered. I'm about to make my second loaf!!! Also, this bread is good for the constitution!

YUM! I don't have a bread machine, so I proofed the yeast with some of the water, mixed all the dry ingredients together, then added the wet and kneaded for 8 minutes. (I didn't have any rye flour either, so I put in half a cup of AP flour and whole wheat each to make up for it.) The caraway seeds are great and strong, but if you just want them as a background note, put in only 1 tsp. I made 12 dinner rolls out of this recipe: Let the whole thing of dough rise for an hour, the punch it down and form 12 palm sized balls. Put them on a baking sheet or in muffin tins and let them rise for another 30 minutes, brush with butter, then bake in a 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!! UPDATE: This bread freezes very well, too!

The best Pumpernickel Bread recipe! I omitted the caraway seeds. I used 3 teaspoons of regular dry package yeast. I used the bread maker, number 13, Leaven setting. I added the wet ingredients first, then the salt, then the rest of the dry ingredients, and the dry yeast last. After the bread maker finished, I proofed it in a 9-inch round cake pan for 90 minutes. Then I baked it on 350 for 22 minutes. Internal temperature 190 F. It made a large 1 lb, 10.6 ounce round loaf. Yum!! When completely cooled, I cut out the entire center, put spinach dip inside, and used the bread pieces to dip. When the pieces of bread are gone, you use the bread bowl! Great for a party!
