I love rye bread but never make it because it would go to waste with just me eating it. I had a girl’s night in with a few close friends and planned on having a reuben dip. This was perfect for the dip. The bread did come out a bit dry, but I toasted it anyway and it had a great flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/8 cups warm water
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup dark rye flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds
  • 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Ingredients for Black Forest Pumpernickel Bread

Directions

1

Place everything into the bread machine in the order listed, except the yeast, making a mound with the flour.

2

Using your fingers, carefully create a well in the middle of the flour.

3

Place the yeast into the well to keep it from coming in contact with any liquid.

4

Set the crust type to light and the loaf size to 1.5 lb.

5

Press start.

6

Check the dough while it is still in the knead stage for texture.

7

If the mixture is too dry, add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet, add flour a little at a time.

8

The dough should form a ball and be slightly sticky to the touch.

9

When the bread is done, immediately turn the loaf out onto a wire rack.

10

Slice and serve as desired.
