Pumpernickel Bread With Raisins Recipe

Pumpernickel Bread With Raisins

From rosemaryblue 16 years ago

Delicious, and good-for-you bread! Great toasted, and good with cream cheese or peppered ham. Really good for sandwiches!

In large bowl, combine lukewarm water, molasses, yeast, instant coffee granules, salt, and cocoa
Stir and let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy
Combine rye flour, whole wheat flour, unbleached flour in large bowl
Gradually add yeast -molasses mixture, stirring well
Turn onto lightly floured board
Sprinkle dough with additional unbleached flour and begin to knead
Continue to knead, adding the flour until the dough is smooth and elastic
Form dough into large ball, place dough in oiled bowl
Turn ball of dough to coat with oil
Cover with towel, let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour
Turn dough onto lightly floured board
Flatten it into a large rectangle, sprinkle with raisins
Roll up dough , knead it to distribute the raisins evenly, for about 5 minutes
Sprinkle large baking sheet with white cornmeal
Turn dough out, cut it into 3 pieces, shape each piece into a small round or oval loaf
Set loaves on baking sheet, leaving as much room as possible
between them
Cover, let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes
Bake on middle rack in a 400 degree oven for 35-40 minutes or until loaves are dark brown and sound hollow when bottoms are tapped
Cool completely on racks before cutting (if you can wait :)

This was Delicious, instead of instant coffee I used 1 1/2 of lukewarm coffee and it worked wonderfully. It is also good with walnuts.
