It seems to be hard to find a "real" receipe for Pumpernickel Bread (not bread machine made), so I am posting a few I found on the web, but have not tried yet.6 c rye flour 3 c wheat flour 1 T yeast 1/2 c blackstrap molasses 3 eggs 1 T salt 1/2 c barley malt 2 c powdered milk 1/2 c butter 3 c water 1/4 c cornmeal
This is a slack dough, which must be baked in a pan which will hold it in shape while undergoing its final rise and baking -- I use a stoneware cloche.
Heat 1 c water, and mix in molasses, then yeast. Melt the butter. Mix the flours, powdered milk, salt, and barley malt. Form a well in the middle. Put the eggs, water, and proofed yeast in the well. Mix until dough sticks together in a ball. Cover, and let rise until double. Turn out dough on a lightly floured surface, and knead until resilient, using as little additional flour as possible. Spread the cornmeal across the bottom of a baking cloche. Place the dough in the center of the cloche, cover, and let rise until double -- you do this by equalling the time of the first rise. Do not take the cover off the cloche -- it will collapse the dough. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and bake until loaf sounds hollow -- about 1 hr.Pumpernickel Bread

Using hotpads, remove pan from unit and pull out kneading rod. Turn out onto cooling rack and cool before slicing. Makes 1 loaf.
