Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day - Pumpernickel

Posted by jenny on 03/08/2010
Pumpernickel

One of the best things I've found in Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day is the sheet diversity of formulas that seem to adapt well to the mix, refrigerate, and bake methods. After so much success with their master recipe, I was ready to try a completely different kind of bread. This time of the year we're all about homemade corned beef. What goes better with it than a deep, rich pumpernickel?

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day - Master Recipe

I've made a few breads out of Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice, and many more out of other sources, but I've found that the amount of time I need to invest to make a great hearth bread is much more than I can spare.


Epic Failure: Potato Rolls

Epic Failure: Potato Rolls

Who screws up potato bread? I mean, the whole idea behind adding potato (baked, mashed, boiled, flakes, flour) is to make bread basically fool-proof. It tenderizes the dough so that nearly anything you throw at it doesn't really matter. Potato bread is easy. And I was pulling the recipe from Baking with Julia, my always present stand-in when I don't have enough time to do anything too complicated.
