This tasted NOTHING like a pumpernickel, and even WITH the vital wheat gluten it barely rose. (and my yeast is fine, I checked) I was making this to hollow out and put spinach dip in, unfortunately I am going to have to stop at the store. :(

Turned into a lump of clay in my bread machine. Barely rose. Crust was hard as rock. My only deviation was to add minced dried onion, and I doubt that made it fail. Maybe with more water... It also said to set it on "Basic." That sounded wrong, so maybe it needs "Wheat."

This is NOT a pumpernickel. It tastes noting like a pumpernickel bread. It is an okay wheat bread. I was extremely disappointed and I will not be making this recipe again.

Too sweet for me. Next time I'll reduce molasses. It does have great texture, and color.

This was amazing, I added a handful of whole hazelnuts, as the paddle can’t break them up so they remain whole, then when the mixing was over I threw in a few pumpkin seeds so they would scatter the top. A really good recipe. Thank you. I don’t need to buy pumpernickel bread anymore.

I made in bread maker at dough setting; then baked in oven. Made exactly as recipe stated, minus the optional wheat gluten. The bread turned out wonderful, but I was very disappointed with it toasted (and most of the bread I eat is toasted). I probably won't make again because of this.

I MADE THIS BREAD TODAY AND MADE IT JUST LIKE THE RECIPE EXCEPT I USED ALL WHOLE WHEAT BREAD FLOUR INSTEAD OF WHITE AND 3.5 TABLESPOONS OF WHEAT GLUTEN. I ALSO TOOK IT OUT OF THE BREAD MACHINE AND PUT IT IN A LOAF PAN. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOAF OF BREAD AND REALLY REALLY GOOD TASTING. I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THIS AGAIN.
