Hearty pumpernickel with coffee
2
30 min
8 hours 10 minutes
A really tasty and wonderfully coarse bread that keeps well. If you want it to be a true pumpernickel, wrap it very tightly in plastic wrap as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Here's how:
-
1
Combine all the dry ingredients, pour in the water, and mix in a food processor for about 10 minutes, adding the sourdough starter during the last few minutes. Cover and let the dough rest for 6–8 hours.
-
2
Combine the remaining ingredients—except for the raisins and seeds—with the blanched mixture from Day 1.
-
3
Knead the dough in the stand mixer for about 30 minutes on low speed, then add the fruit mixture. Let the dough rest for about 1 hour.
-
4
Grease and flour two large loaf pans, fill them ⅔ full, dust the tops with flour, and let the bread rise until it reaches the top of the pans.
-
5
Preheat the oven to 250 °C.
-
6
If you want the bread loaves to turn out perfectly square, grease a baking sheet, place it on top of the loaves, and put a weight on top of them. Put everything in the oven and lower the temperature to 200 °C.

Bake for about 90 minutes. Let the bread rest for at least 1 day. Cut into thin, neat slices. The bread usually stays fresh for at least 2 weeks.
