Classic Pumpernickel Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 cups warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons molasses
  • 3 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/3 cups rye flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 2/3 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 2/3 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
1
Combine the bread flour, rye flour, and cornmeal in a large bowl. Add salt, yeast, cocoa powder, and brown sugar to the mixture. Gradually incorporate milk, oil, and molasses into the blend until a dough forms.
2
Knead the dough manually for 15-20 minutes, ensuring it becomes cohesive and smooth.
3
Place the dough in a covered bowl, allowing it to rise for 30 minutes. Gently press down on the dough and shape it into a rectangular form, then position it in a 9 1/2x5 inch baking pan. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for approximately 1 hour.
4
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Bake the dough for 25-30 minutes, covering the top with aluminum foil during the final 10 minutes of baking.
