How to Make Raisin Pumpernickel Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water and molasses.
- Sprinkle in yeast and stir until dissolved. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until slightly foamy.
- Stir in instant coffee, salt, and rye flour.
- Add cocoa powder and mix well.
- Add whole-wheat flour and 1 cup of bread flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Sprinkle additional flour over the dough and begin to knead for 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
- Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 3-4 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Turn the dough out and flatten it into a large rectangle. Sprinkle with raisins.
- Roll up the dough tightly and pinch the seam to seal. Place the dough seam-side down in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for another hour, or until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sprinkle a baking sheet with 3-4 tablespoons of cornmeal.
- Gently turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Cut into 3 equal pieces and shape each into a small round loaf.
- Place loaves on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Cover loosely and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon of cold water.
- Brush the tops of the loaves with the egg white mixture.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the loaves cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
