Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup rye flour
1 tablespoon regular active dry yeast
2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse (kosher or sea) salt or 1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups warm water (105°F to 115°F)
3 tablespoons full-flavor (dark) molasses
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon caraway seed, if desired

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix together flours, yeast, cocoa and salt. In small bowl, mix together 1 1/3 cups water and molasses. Add water mixture to flour mixture; stir with wooden spoon until dough is thoroughly mixed and no dry spots remain, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature 2 hours; refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; sprinkle with cornmeal. On generously floured surface, turn dough to lightly coat with flour. Form dough into a ball; cut in half. Cut each half into 6 equal pieces, coating with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Shape each piece into ball by stretching surface of dough around to bottom on all sides; pinch bottom to seal. Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Loosely cover rolls with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray; let rise in warm place 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Place empty broiler tray or cast iron skillet on bottom rack of oven. Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush buns with egg mixture; sprinkle with caraway seed. Place cookie sheet in oven. Gently pull out bottom rack of oven and pour 1 cup hot water into broiler tray; gently slide rack back and quickly shut oven door.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until buns begin to slightly brown and sound hollow when tapped. Cool 5 minutes on cooling rack. Serve warm or cool.

HOMEMADE PUMPERNICKEL BREAD



Homemade Pumpernickel Bread image

"This light bread is our absolute favorite," writes Julie Wesson from Wilton, Wisconsin. "It uses molasses rather than sugar, and rye and whole wheat flour instead of white. Unsweetened chocolate is the secret ingredient that makes the taste outstanding!"

PUMPKIN PIE MUFFINS



Pumpkin Pie Muffins image

I made this recipe this fall when I was craving something seasonal. After trying other recipes that just lacked that homey pumpkin-pie taste, I decided to make my own. It makes about 24 large muffins or 6 muffins and a loaf. Even though they last well in the refrigerator, you may want to halve the recipe for individuals or small families. Add some cream cheese frosting and they'd make great cupcakes.
