Dark Pumpernickel Rye Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup dark rye flour
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active Dry Yeast
- 3/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (cooled to 120-130°F)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons dark molasses
Directions
- In mixing bowl combine one cup bread flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, onion powder, and yeast (called DRY MIXTURE). (Reserve one cup bread flour and all of the rye four.)
- Combine liquid ingredients in separate bowl.
- Combine dry mixture and liquid ingredients in mixing bowl with paddle or beaters for 4 minutes on medium speed. Gradually add rye flour and enough of the remaining bread flour to form a firm dough. Knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe, about 1 hour. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles, then shape dough into a round loaf (or oval if you choose). Place on lightly greased cookie sheet or in 8-inch layer cake pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until indentation remains after touching (about 30 minutes). Bake in preheated 400° F oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
