Pumpernickel bread recipes?

kshama2001

Anyone have any good pumpernickel bread recipes?

I'm looking at https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/classic-pumpernickel-bread-recipe but am not sure about the potatoes. I have rye flour which I assume I can use in place of the pumpernickel. I'd also like to use a higher proportion of wheat to rye flour.

I'm also looking at https://redstaryeast.com/recipes/dark-pumpernickel-rye-bread/ but am slightly prejudiced against recipes that do not include weights. I can convert, of course, but it makes a recipe less desirable.

Rather than using a loaf pan, I'd prefer to use the Dutch oven method. I'm also fine with a recipe that uses less yeast and needs to rise longer than the example ones.

I bake this as a loaf instead of rolls, https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/potato-onion-rye-rolls-recipe. It's lighter in whole grain than I usually make, at some point I need to try subbing some whole wheat for some of the white.

@Bookworm1860 Ooo, rolls are easier for me to moderate and they freeze so well!

What do you use for the potato flour / potato flakes?

Do you think I can use bread flour instead of the all purpose flour and vital wheat gluten?

Thanks! That gave me too many options but did clear up my question about "pumpernickel flour" vs the rye flour I have from Arrowhead Mills

I made this recipe last weekend - they were very good! I was in a hurry at the supermarket and could not find the French onions so left them out. I'm used to only buying those at Thanksgiving, when they are featured on end caps. I think they'd make a nice savory addition, so will look harder before I make them again.

King Arthur image using a crown bread pan instead of a 9x13" pan. I don't have the hang of making yeast rolls round, so mine were a lot less perfect, but we didn't care.
