Pumpernickel Bread Healthy Recipe
Try this amazingly delicious dark bread. Any rye flour works in this pumpernickel-rye bread recipe, but I recommend a dark rye. If you can find a coarsely ground rye or pumpernickel flour - often available in health-food and specialty baking stores - by all means use it here. Flavorful bread with coffee, molasses, covered with caraway seeds.

Bake in a preheated 400 F oven for 25 to 35 minutes. The loaf should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
