PUMPERNICKEL BREAD (NO-KNEAD)
So easy yet sooo tasty! I especially like the fact that I can make whatever size loaf I need. Original recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day however, I've made some minor adjustments plus cut the recipe down to 2 one pound loaves.

Steps:
- Mixing and Storing the Dough: Note: If measuring flour rather than weighing, don't press down into the flour as you scoop it in with dry-ingredient measuring cups, By gently scooping up flour, then sweeping the top level with a knife or spatula.you willl get a more accurate measurement.
- In large plastic storage container (with lid) mix together the flours, yeast, cocoa and salt.
- Mix together water, coffee and molasses. Add the water mixture at once and mix with a wooden spoon.
- If mixing becomes too difficult to incorporate all the flour with the spoon, reach into the mixing bowl with very wet hands and press the mixture together. Note: kneading isn't necessary.
- When everything is uniformly moist without dry patches your mixing is complete. This should take only a few minutes. The dough will be wet and loose enough to conform to the shape of its container.
- Cover with a lid (not airtight) that fits well on the container. Allow the mixture to rise at room temperature until it begins to collapse, or at least flattens on the top, about 2 hours, depending on the room's temperature and the initial water temperature. Longer rising times, up to about 5 hours, will not harm the result.
- You can use a portion of the dough anytime after this period. Fully refrigerated wet dough is less sticky and easier to work with than dough at room temperature. So the first time you try this method, it's best to refrigerate the dough overnight, or at least 3 hours, before shaping a loaf.
- The breads flavor improves with the retardation, so suggest you wait at least 24 hours before baking the first loaf! Dough may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 8 days.
- BAKING (One 1-pouond loaf): With wet hands, pull up one end of the refrigerated dough. Using a serrated knife, cut off a 1-pound, or grapefruit-size, piece of dough.
- Without using flour, shape into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go. Form into an oval-shaped loaf.
- Place on a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal (or on parchment paper); allow to rest for 40 minutes - 1 1/2 hours, varies with temperature of the kitchen. (The shorter the time, the denser the crumb.).
- Twenty minute before baking, place an empty cast-iron skillet or broiler tray on the bottom shelf and baking stone on center shelf; preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a pastry brush,, paint the top of the loaf with cornstarch wash, and sprinkle with caraway seeds. With a serrated bread knife, slash the top of the loaf with deep diagonal cuts. Slide the loaf directly onto the hot stone. Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into the broiler tray and quickly close the oven door.
- Bake for about 35 - 40 minutes or until firm (interior temperature should be 198 - 200 degrees). Note: Larger or smaller loaves will require an adjustment to the baking time. Allow to cool on a rack before cutting.
HOMEMADE PUMPERNICKEL BREAD
"This light bread is our absolute favorite," writes Julie Wesson from Wilton, Wisconsin. "It uses molasses rather than sugar, and rye and whole wheat flour instead of white. Unsweetened chocolate is the secret ingredient that makes the taste outstanding!"

PUMPERNICKEL RYE BREAD
This is a hearty bread. Mix it in the bread machine (or stand mixer) but bake it in the oven. I recommend baking in the oven instead of the machine because the loaf is fuller and the top is much nicer. I hope you enjoy it.

- Slowly beat rye flour into the yeast and molasses mixture. Mix in the all-purpose flour and mix until it is a soft, smooth dough ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. If dough is too moist, add a little more flour. If dough is too dry add a little more water.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Lightly grease (or spray with cooking spray) a large bowl. Add the dough, turning once to coat the entire surface of dough with oil. Cover dough with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours).
- Punch down dough. Separate dough into 2 equal parts. Form 2 round, slightly flattened loaves. Score a 3/4 inch deep 'X" into the tops of both loaves with a sharp knife.
- Grease (or spray) a large baking sheet; sprinkle with cornmeal. Put the loaves on top and then cover with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled - about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degress F. Bake 30-35 minutes or until crusts are dark brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
- Remove from baking sheet and cool on a rack before slicing.

ARTISAN PUMPERNICKEL BREAD
Baking bread every Sunday has become a tradition in my house. It fills my house with the cozy smell of fresh baked bread, and the act of kneading has become a source of meditation to release the stress of the work week. Needless to say, this recipe isn't for a bread machine. This was one of my best breads so far. I think it's the addition of the mashed potatos that makes this a wonderfully moist elastic bread. Beware of over-kneading this one, you don't want the dough to be too moist, but it will retain a bit of stickiness throughout.

Artisan pumpernickel bread is a type of bread that is made using rye flour and is sometimes sweetened with molasses or other sweeteners. The bread has a dark color and a dense texture, and is often served with savory food items. The origins of pumpernickel bread can be traced back to Germany, where it was traditionally made using low-gluten rye flour and a long, slow baking process. Today, artisan pumpernickel bread recipes incorporate a range of ingredients and techniques, with many bakers experimenting with new flavor combinations and methods of baking.
Ingredients
Artisan pumpernickel bread recipes typically include a mixture of rye flour, wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast. Some recipes also call for additional ingredients such as molasses, caraway seeds, or coffee. The key ingredient in pumpernickel bread is rye flour, which gives the bread its distinctive flavor and texture. Rye flour is a low-gluten flour that has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. The wheat flour in the recipe helps to add structure to the bread and improve its texture.
Method
The method for making artisan pumpernickel bread can vary depending on the recipe being used. However, the general process involves combining the dry ingredients (flour, salt, yeast, and any additional ingredients such as caraway seeds) in a mixing bowl, and then adding the wet ingredients (water and any sweeteners such as molasses) and mixing until a dough forms. The dough is then kneaded for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, and then left to rise in a warm place for several hours. Once the dough has risen, it is shaped into loaves and left to rise again before being baked in a preheated oven for around 45 minutes to an hour. The bread is ready when it has a dark, crusty exterior and a dense, chewy interior.
Flavor Variations
Artisan pumpernickel bread recipes can be adapted to include a range of different flavors and ingredients. For example, some bakers add coffee to the recipe to give the bread a richer, more complex flavor. Others add molasses, honey, or other sweeteners to balance out the bitterness of the rye flour. Caraway seeds can be added to the dough to give the bread a slightly different flavor and texture. Some bakers also experiment with different types of flour, such as spelt or kamut, to create unique variations on the classic pumpernickel bread recipe.
Tips for Baking Artisan Pumpernickel Bread
- Use high-quality ingredients, including fresh flour and yeast.
- Be patient with the rising process – allowing the dough to rise slowly will help to develop the bread’s flavor and texture.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature to ensure that it develops a dark, crusty exterior.
- Consider experimenting with different flavor combinations and variations on the traditional recipe.
- Serve the bread with savory toppings such as cheese or cured meats, or use it as a base for sandwiches.
Conclusion
Artisan pumpernickel bread is a delicious, flavorful bread that is rich in texture and depth. With its dark color and earthy flavor, it’s a perfect complement to savory foods like cheese and cured meats. Artisan bakers have been experimenting with pumpernickel bread recipes for centuries, and today’s bakers continue to create unique variations on this classic recipe. Whether you prefer your pumpernickel bread sweetened with molasses or spiced with caraway seeds, there’s a recipe out there for everyone to enjoy.
