Daddy’S Dark Pumpernickel Bread
Description
This hearty pumpernickel bread is a masterclass in deep, earthy flavors. The combination of rye and whole wheat flours creates a dense, moist crumb that holds up beautifully to slicing. Instant coffee granules and cocoa powder enhance the dark color and add subtle roasted notes, while dark molasses provides a rich, lingering sweetness. Caraway seeds offer a traditional aromatic kick. Perfect for sandwiches, toast with butter, or alongside a heavy stew, this loaf brings warmth and comfort to any table. It is simple to make in a bread machine, yielding a rustic, homemade quality that rivals bakery-bought loaves. A true crowd-pleaser for bread lovers.Ingredients

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the yeast into the well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid yet.
