Pumpernickel Recipe

Ingredients:

1 1/2 to 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3 packages active dry yeast

1 tablespoon caraway seed

1 1/2 cups warm water (115o to 120o)

1/2 cup light molasses

2 tablespoons cooking oil

1 tablespoon salt

2 cups rye flour

Oven 350o

 

Method

In a large mixer bowl combine 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, yeast and caraway seed. Mix warm water, light molasses, cooking oil, and salt. Add to flour mixture. Beat at low speed electric mixer 1/2 minutes, scraping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in rye flour and as much of 3/4 to 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour as you can mix in with a spoon. On a floured surface knead in enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape into a ball in a greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
 

Punch down; divide in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Shape into 2 round loaves. Place on a greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Flatten slightly with hand to a 6- to 7-inch diameter. Cover; let rise till nearly double (about 30 to 45 minutes). Bake in a 350o oven for 35 to 40 minutes or till well browned. Makes 2.
