Dark Pumpernickel-Style Rye Loaf

Dark Pumpernickel-Style Rye Loaf delivers a deep, robust flavor from coffee and cocoa, with molasses lending gentle sweetness and a soft, tender crumb. Caraway adds a classic aromatic note that pairs beautifully with butter or smoked fish. Serve this hearty bread alongside soups or as a base for substantial sandwiches when you want something rustic and richly flavored.
