Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add in the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and rye flour. Make sure to sift your flours before adding to the mixing bowl.
2. Next, add the warm water, vegetable oil, and molasses.
3. Using a wooden spoon or a whisk, start to incorporate the wet and dry ingredients together until it forms a loose dough. Once you see it starting to come together, use your hands to form the dough and incorporate any stuck ingredients on the bowl. This should form a dense and sticky mixture.
4. After you’ve finished kneading the dough, transfer it to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
5. After the dough has risen enough, go ahead and knock out the air. Take the dough out of the bowl and begin to fold the dough in on itself in the shape of a sausage-like shaped loaf.
6. Once you’ve achieved the loaf shape with your dough, transfer your dough into a 2-pound loaf pan. Place your pan in a warm area and allow to proof again for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
7. Bake for 30 minutes and cool it after. Serve and enjoy.

Traditionally, pumpernickel bread is made with ground rye, a sourdough starter, and proofed for 8 hours before being baked for more than 20 hours. Thankfully, this recipe is a lot easier and less time consuming to make at home.
