I love this bread with a cheese fondue! We served it to friends, one of whom insisted she didn't like pumpernickel or rye bread, and, yet, she thought this was fantastic! Thanks!

I'am an executive chef and what I did was add 1tsp honey , another 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, tripled the amount of caraway. Used brewed coffee (strong) 1/2 cup in place of the water. made the dough to the right consistancy adding white flour as I went along. Kneaded for 5min in a kitchen aid. Let it rise 2 hours or to when the top flattens out . punched down diviided into 3 loaves. let rise again about 30min . baked at 450 for 20 min and then 350 until the center was 185 degrees. cooled on a wire rack. It was great. cant wait to try it with some homemade cured salmon .

Very good! I did not use the dry milk powder, coffee powder, or water, but substituted coffee.

Great Pumpernickel bread! Converted to sourdough and used sourdough starter, 210 grams and cut back 100 grams of water and all purpose four. Worked out great! Beat tasting rye bread I have made!

Very good. Second rise was pretty good. It doesn't make a big/high loaf.

I changed this recipe a little. Instead of 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, I used bread flour and then used 3/4 cup whole wheat flour instead of 1/2 cup. I had to add a little extra water, it is winter, so that may be why and I proofed it in the oven on the proof setting. It absolutely is the best Rye Bread I ever made. It rose perfectly and has a great texture.

Great recipe. I made the folowing changes. I used one full packet of yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons), Increased to 2 tablespoons molasses, added 1 tablespoon brown sugar, subtracted two tablespoons bread flour, added 2 tablespoons gluten flour, mixed for 15 minutes with bread hook, let rise 30 minutes under damp towel, second rise in 9x5 loaf pan for 1 hour, baked at 350 for 30 minutes and covered with foil for 10 more minutes. Great rise, and wonderful flavor. Loaf turned out beautiful and tasted the same.

I made it aaa'artisan" style. I added 3T. gluten, also. It didn't rise upward, mostly out! I can see why this needs to bake in a pan! I did get a loaf aprox. 2 1/2 inches tall, tho' It is nice and light, although I thought there was too much cocoa. The flavor was very strong. Other than that, good recipe!
