Dark Pumpernickel Bread

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This inexpensive bread machine is a real buy. Get it and you'll never be without fresh bread!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 cups water
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp. oil
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1-1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup medium rye flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 Tbsp. wheat gluten
  • 3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp. caraway seeds
  • 2 tsp. active dry yeast

Preparation:

Place all ingredients in bread pan, using the smallest amount of liquid in the recipe. Select Medium Crust setting and Whole Wheat Cycle and press Start. Observe the dough as it kneads. If after 5-10 minutes it appears dry or if your machine sounds as if it's straining, add more liquid 1 Tbsp. at a time until the dough is smooth, soft, and slightly tacky to the touch.

After the baking cycle ends, cool bread on wire rack for 1 hour before slicing. Makes 1-1/2 lb. loaf
